It is crazy, A big block of Trump's base is also Women. They seem to have no issue stripping away the rights of other women. People say don't let politics affect your relationships, it should when it comes to enabling fascism.

  • Dems should be hammering home:

Project 2025 Rich Tax Cut Damage and Aftermath

Women's Rights being taken away.

Affiliation with White Nationalists and Racists.

Then they would also need a message of what the future holds (which they haven't done well other than not Trump.) Biden doing something about rent is a good start.

That thing with Bernie to get rid of Medical Debt on people's records.

Anything else.

Anyone who says to not let politics affect your relationships is incredibly privileged and thinks that politics is just about taxes and different spending habits.

Politics should 100% affect your personal relationships. Nazis are food, not friends. Anyone who still supports Trump at this point is telling you they do not give a single shit about you or your loved ones. They only care about themselves.
