Anyone who has worked in politics (even at the city council level) understands what "optics" is.
It means you do things because they make you look good, and you don't do things that make you look bad.
Conservatives who don't get this don't last long in politics.
Just the facts--whether you like them or not.
"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality."
Words to live by--by Ayn Rand (who hated politics--and this was one of the reasons...)

The better solution is to make the low-info understand that the media is feeding them the “optics,” and not to be so gullible. The Deep State thrives on gullible people. Hence, 2020.
