Those points are only alarming to intelligent, sane people. The problem is there's a cult of unintelligent, insane people in this country.
If the media focused on just this narrative half as much as the focus on Biden's age, which is an issue, it might actually reach enough ears enough times that the not lost people might be swayed. There aren't enough people and headlines referencing Trump's felonies, rapes, and views to dictate. I saw a few headlines when it was said, and people just said, "same old Trump". More people need to start speaking about it in the media as a serious matter. And literally continually refer to him as a rapist felon.
They just need a particularly ragebait-y conclusion to latch on to. Like the fact that the Constitution he wants to 'terminate' also includes all the amendments.
Including the second amendment.
The one that's misquoted constantly by republican gun nuts.
The title nearly writes itself. "Trump wants to take away your Second Amendment gun rights!"
He has literally talked about bypassing the 2nd Amendment.
This is an actual quote from a White House meeting discussing the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
People who already would vote Democrat need to be alarmed into making sure they vote their asses off
Well we can only vote once, though, legally
Some MAGAs got caught trying to vote twice last time
Yes we can only vote one time but we can also make sure our moms, dads, siblings, friends, mail carriers, etc all go out and vote as well
Oh, you've politically purged those in your circle so thoroughly that you can guarantee your mail carriers will vote the same way you do? That's...impressive. Or creepy. Not sure which, or if you're contacting from the future after the other party has been banned and we are effectively a one party system?
Mail carriers should want a Democratic administration as much as anyone. If they like having the job title of mail carrier anyway.
Yes, I am contacting you from the future. Bad news, you’re still a weenie in the future too.
And they're people that pledge allegiance to the flag and Constitution every morning
