This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast.
There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

Before you get mad at Trump for saying Ukraine started the war, take a second to consider some geopolitical questions.
-Why did Ukraine put all that provocative mineral-rich land right on Russia's border?

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

His actions threatened millions of Illinoisans' access to health care, food, and even fuel to heat their homes. I will stay vigilant in defense of IL because if you come for my people, you come through me.
