Plus: Democrats lead the U.S. House generic ballot by 5, Americans reject ICE racial profiling; and approval of Trump's handling of prices and health care hit a new low
Democrats would be well advised to push the healthcare message strongly and state exactly what they want for the American people in their shutdown request. Publicize it with stories of the people using the healthcare services that will be lost and the effect on society as a whole.
40-45% of the US population still planning to vote Republican. Clearly, a large proportion of the population are not right in the head, or Fox News brainwashed.
I would argue that anyone claiming to be independent with the Felonious , Rapist , Insurrectionist we have in power probably have a few loose screws too!
Probably ~30% of voters are GOP loyalists. Another ~15% aren't exactly loyalists, but dislike the Democrats. I think the best you can hope for, outside of some sort of national crisis, is to cut down on that ~15% voting for Republicans (instead staying home, voting third party, or voting for a Jared Golden type).
I don't think right-wing media are primarily to blame. I mean, they don't *help*, and they can sometimes persuade enough people to swing close elections. But, in general, the viewers of Fox, OAN, etc. are already right-wing. The bigger story is the growth of white evangelical churches and para-church organizations and their social and cultural influence in much of the country.
Bowling Alone explains a lot. Civil society has withered, and what's taken its place are isolation and reactionary religion. Both things conducive to Republican victory.
Trump Ice agents killed a civilian. Now found FOR NO CAUSE! Trump DOJ lied and said fed agent was SERIOUSLY INJURED and dragged by the civilian’s car.
Nope local cop body cameras SHOW FACTS. ( ice agents ALWAYS WORE BODY CAMS UNTIL TRUMP BECAME LEADER)
The trump agents had MINOR INJURIES! Stated this over the radios!
They are killing humans for NO REASON Oh and the dead victim was LEGALLY HERE ON J-1 work visa as an agriculture worker!! Was in Chicago area to help at boss’s farmer market!
I say plural HUMANS because there is news SEVERAL 1000s of humans on American soil ARE MISSING after taken by trump agents!
Be smart Dems, if shutdown is the road you choose, use healthcare as your message, not ANYTHING else!
