Trump Says Blue States Will 'Totally Disappear Off The Map'

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. D's can make broad appeal Blue Wave. Education & rationality not needed to vote D, just an observation of who tends to.

If you want a Blue Wave, you need broad appeal. Yes, by all means deploy educated rational candidates, run by educated rational campaigns, that appeal to and don't repel educated rational voters. But the appeal does not have to be limited to them.

The appeal should be to broader sets. I expect the conditions in the US to be worse by time spring and summer 2026 arrive, but the foundations can be laid now. One big foundation is to always call the R candidates "Trump Republicans" (or tRump RepubliConmen if you prefer), to always link them inseparably.

With worse conditions, talk about issues and things that voters can actually see or that are inescapable on TV/social.

If there is high inflation, that's obvious, but hammer it.

If there are job losses reaching beyond government and big auto companies, hammer it. "Trump and Republicans didn't ship jobs offshore like they used to; this time they destroyed jobs."

If the US has lost power and respect around the world, and/or people are reluctant to travel to US or from US, hammer it. Ways like "America First is all well and good until it becomes America Alone. Trump Republicans isolated you."

If the federal government is disrupted and malfunctioning (from the voter viewpoint), hammer it. "Do you feel safer eating chicken now they are Trump inspected chickens?"

Just because a voter might be poorly educated and/or somewhat irrational doesn't mean they can't be reached.
