War crimes or merely extrajudicial killings, the median American voter will still see action on one side and pearl clutching on the other unless we reorient the message.

Not “why are you murdering people in the Caribbean” but “why are substance use disorders and deaths of despair an epidemic across the country’s industrial heartland?”

Not “why are you cutting food aid that millions rely on to make ends meet” but “why are tens of millions of Americans unable to afford life’s necessities without assistance?”

Here’s the math on that. Let’s assume every voter in Trump’s margin of victory this election voted for Biden in 2020 (to get a conservative estimate of the number of Biden voters who decided to sit on their hands in 2024).

77.3-74.2=3.1
81.3-75=6.3
6.3-3.1=3.2

But y’all wanted cheaper eggs.
