This is the strategy. The GOP has abandoned them.
Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power.
Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."
AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong
Other Democrats, from Schumer to Hochul, should follow her lead.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed.
Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio.

Canada could very quickly show how much the US depends on them by shutting it down. Electricity, oil, and steel.
Trump: "Canada has been very bad to us on trade, but now Canada is gonna have to start paying up ... they think we're gonna protect them, with our military, which is unfair ... Canada is gonna be a very serious contender to be our 51st state."
