The Narrative Must Now Change!

It is as plain as day that Trump and his cronies are trying to cover up a multitude of crimes that warrent impeachment. However, that alone is not a winning strategy to change public opinion. A uniformed message on the left should now be, "Look at what the Republicans are allowing Trump to get away with?"

Even if average "Joe Red State" begins to see that Trump lied to him about everything in 2016, he will still vote for the Mitch McConnells and Ted Cruzs on 2018 and 2020. The whole GOP must be linked to Trump's treason!

unless he gets fired first. But he IS going after everybody. I know McConnell and Ryan are guilty of complicity at least but I do not know if that can be made into a crime. We have to get rid of all of them.
They won't impeach him unless he does something so absolutely horrific that his deplorable base calls for it. I can only imagine that killing a little old lady carrying a box of puppies on live TV would even come close to doing that. Either that or the entire economy gets destroyed and his base is hit really, really hard. They only care about themselves after all.

We somehow need to engage new people because Trump voters are mostly lost to reason
