90-Day Prez

Does he know that the overwhelming % of ppl who vote by mail are older and white, aka his base? 

-Conversely, the ppl most likely to vote in person are POC and the young.

-does he know that old white ppl are also most vulnerable to covid?

- does he know Herman Cain died of covid?'

- does he know that a campaign slogan of 'promises kept' will sound so tone deaf with 300,000 dead Americans, mass evictions, Great Depression level unemployment, no repeal of Obamacare, and NO WALL (and Mexico didn't pay for it). 

-if you were the Dem party you could have not sabotaged Trump's re-election more than his own actions. He's ushering in a permanent plague that is weakening the economy, ravaging the south, flipping his voters, killing his supporters, motivating his enemies. And now due to his obstinate refusal to listen to facts, he can't hold rallies which was his juice. He can't have a convention. About 70% of the country wants a national mask mandate and to shut down tightly so that we can start over. And every day we put on a mask we are viscerally reminded that this has been the WORST YEAR EVER for most people...if they're still alive. 

I want Biden to do more, but I also don't want him to gaffe his way into getting low-information voters to equate his tone-deaf malapropism to actual mass biological genocide happening right now thanks to our government. Maybe we are such a dimwitted nation that we need bright, bold lines to differentiate between an old grumpy man and someone who is the embodiment of a 'fiery pedo death comet filled with molten diarrhea' hurtling toward every American institution and vaporizing us in an apocalyptic shit cloud of horror. I know it's not as catchy as MAGA, but do you think if we just kept reminding Evangelicals that 'Jesus is going to give you big ol' frown if you keep voting for the pedo raping death monster' that they'll get it? I know Schumer and Pelosi might bristle at such strong language, but I'm ok with bristling their kente cloth centrism if the msg penetrates the layers of congealed fat sitting encasing the brains of 'working class voters.'  We need bunker-busting msging to hit and tunnel under the collected layers of generational racism, privilege, and fragility, and explode into the basement of their basic humanity.
