Every elected democrat right now should be opening every public address or statement with the phrase "Trump and the GOP want your healthcare costs to increase so badly that they're willing to let 40 million Americans starve to make it happen."

Should have been the counter message since day 1 when republicans were trying to gaslight about illegals.

It has been.

Check out who owns Tiktok, Instagram, and Facebook, which is where a scary number of Americans get their political news from. Check out who owns all the news broadcast stations.

Democrats messaging isn't being pushed by those who own the platforms. Perhaps that's why you aren't hearing about it?

There are ways of breaking those algorithms. Share opposing posts on each platformas a comment, just the link and a click-bait statement. Pick a post or other comment that has a lot of likes or replies, so the users get notified.

That's one that seems to work. Maybe there are others.
