The only way to fight this is advertising campaigns that plaster the airwaves with just

racist, anti-social security, anti-medicare, anti-environment, anti-public education, anti-women, anti-civil rights policies of the nominees he has selected.

Call Sessions the f**king racist and antisemite he is. Call Price the anti-medicare, anti-social security, anti-medicaid, and the anti-vaxer pseudo science organization he is. Call them all out, and DO NOT MINCE WORDS.

Perhaps blasting the airwaves will cause people to pay attention to these scum of the earth, and what they are doing

Social media data analysis and consumption data are now enabling Republicans to target their advertising.

They target smaller micro groups using specially tailored messages.

They can spend much less money and target their message to smaller groups.

It's incredibly more effective.

Democrats must do the same or risk obliteration.

I am convinced this is necessary. Running ads on tv is too expensive and won't reach the proper audience in the proper form.

We need ads made for specific groups and delivered to those groups via social media.

I agree that social media and showing up at town halls and other feedback venues have more impact. It would seem that the objective should be to romance the press and let THEM shame the cabal. The time for that is now cuz some of the mainstream press has been unfairly blamed and embarrassed by Trump, his minions and Congress repubs. There's a large segment of the press who wants revenge and are actively seeking leaks of all kinds. Get to know some of them. Post at their blogs. Buy their books. Ask questions about their articles. Submit an editorial or a review of their one of their books or publications.

One of the many things we can do is win over the press in all genres. Subscribe to the ones that taunt the most. Interact with them on Twitter. The press is in a better position to push back than we are as individuals. Protests may eventually lose their luster, but engaging members of the press to enrage and embarrass Trump, the cabal and Congress is "weaponized" pushback for us if we're smart about how we interact with them and remain respectful of their time.

Just an idea, of course, for us poor cash-starved voters, who will not be launching any big ad campaigns anytime soon!!!
