7) Ads pointing out “this is not the Democratic party of your father and mother”.

THAT absolutely needs to happen!

My grandfather was a lifelong Democrat (and a pretty prominent one at the local level) who walked away from the party in 1980 when he realized that a second Carter term would endanger the country and he had no choice but to support Reagan.

Most Dems at this point are brainwashed beyond salvage, but we can likely start peeling some away from the margins with that message.

no choice but to support Reagan.

My thought is we are not going to get a sizeable number of the dems, aside from possible black defections, to vote for Trump (more so than the GOP in general). Hopefully we can get enough of the current crop of crap to force some to just not vote. Every Dem who does not vote is like a vote for our side.

Their amalgamated party of disparate sub groups is not monolithic and in fact more open to petty bickering. Hopefully the bickering explodes like it did in 68. Trump has a great message: I love the US and patriots. He does not run on the give away platform. While the giveaway platform may sound great, it does not work unless everyone gets free stuff which financially cannot happen.

My dad was a 20yr old paratrooper in the mountain
jungles of Leyte when they told him he could
register and vote. Not wanting to “change horses in
the middle of the stream” he registered Democrat and
voted for FDR. When he died in 2015 he held a PhD
in education and was still a Democrat. But he never
voted for any liberal candidate or cause and his most
prized photo was of him and others w/Gov Reagan
honoring the Future Farmers of America organization.
