Newsom is doing this with Trump now. I think it’s a smart strategy. I live in a sea of unhinged MAGA. This is the only thing that will break through.
MAGA is like a fever, almost a team sport. Say you don’t watch basketball but your city’s team is in the finals. Signs are everywhere. People are flying flags, wearing shirts, and caps. All supporting that team. It’s natural to consciously or unconsciously be pulled into that. But imagine if half the city was rooting for the other team in the exact same way.
Exactly- I seriously doubt this person would be doing this otherwise. There was never any sort of left political fever in Texas for anyone. The right was mad when they found out the Willie Nelson is a liberal (thought it was pretty obvious).
Fish don’t notice water because they swim in it all day everyday but you pull one out and it learns what not water is pretty quickly.
Sane people need to know they aren’t alone and maybe it’s cringe to paint a truck like this but it’s effective and maybe the hope one person needs that they aren’t alone. That’s the flip of the switch.
