It doesn't matter if this was the Roman Salute or the Nazi Salute or whatever else they want to claim. Good guys don't do this. Normal people don't do this. Period.
New idea for Democrats. Simplify the message to this: Tax the Billionaires. 67% of Americans (including 51% of Republicans) support taxing billionaires. Hammer this message, then tackle harder problems.

Democrats have to respond when Trump is crazy. It doesn't have to be perfectly scripted. But taking a full week to pass a resolution condemning pardoning the J6 terrorists is unacceptable and ineffective. Use the millions in donations and crank out ads around the clock. Not hard.

Trump wants voter ID laws and to "turn the water on" before he sends CA disaster relief funding... maybe the world's 5th largest economy should just secede? CA sends far more in tax revenue to the feds than it receives.

Hmm... tell me again how this makes people's lives better and more affordable? Wasn't that the reason so many people voted for him? Once again, he doesn't care about you or your problems.

Trump revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1966 which required equal treatment of employees "without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin" days after calling for a return to meritocracy where folks aren't judged by race, creed, color, etc.... make it make sense.

Dems need a change in messaging strategy. We have to communicate every policy through the lens of "this will help your family because..." Folks view Rs as decisive and strong leaders but remain skeptical that they actually care about people like them. We have to seize on this if we want to win.

Watching Donald Trump take the oath in the Rotunda his supporters vandalized was awful.
We have to continue to speak out when we see terrible things happen. We must continue the fight for a better America for all of us.
