I think this is ok-ish.
But what's missing is that most people swing to the majority. For years now MAGA has thought it WAS that majority.
Convince them they are not, that they are out of step with the majority, and a ton of them will dump this regime and deny they ever were a part of it.

Remove Corporate ownership of our elections. No PAC's. Corporations are not people. We are and they exist because we exist. Not the other way around.

Dem politicians are in the pockets of corporations. That's why they are not stepping up. We need leaders to fight for no PACs, real term limits, universal healthcare, no inside trading, and to actually support Americans. We all (well, Dems) knew Trump was bad but Dems arent much better.

Is it possible that Trump is a Russian agent? Has he made a deal with Putin to take over the US? If he has not done so officially, he certainly has done so in his actions and his speeches.

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone.
“It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.
