Honestly, does he even need campaigning? Like since when did you read a political ad or billboard and was like "hmm my mind has officially changed". Most of people's mind has already been made up. He could really sit there and not do anything and end up winning.
Edit: yeah. We need every fighting chance we get. Release the dark brandon memes.
When I heard Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016 I literally laughed out loud thinking there is absolutely no way, 0% chance, better odds that the sun will explode, this country is pretty stupid but not THAT stupid. And sure enough, I was wrong. That was when I realized that the GOP is very, very good at manipulating stupid people.
You can't underestimate decades of getting people to subconsciously hate Hillary Clinton and what that does to voters. Many hated her. Few actually had a reason when asked
There's a reason the GOP goes so hard at AOC in 2020+. They see her as a real threat to the presidency in 2040+ and they want decades of demonization in the bank
@Saneless@RandallFlagg The Conservatives in #Canada do the same repetitive attacks on #Trudeau and are having some success- many cite a hate for Trudeau but when asked why they have literally no reason- unfortunate so many want to be told what to think rather then vetting information- critical thinking needs to be a value not a nuisance.
@Sbhinclusion@Saneless@RandallFlagg When asked why they hate Trudeau, people often site absolute lies that are repeated continuously by Conservatives and happily repeated by mainstream media.
@Sbhinclusion@Saneless@RandallFlagg The hate is that their assumptions and privileges are being called out. That these no longer protect and isolate them from the world’s problems. They hate that they must make hard decisions that effect themselves and the ones they love. They hate that they are vulnerable. It’s new and it’s ugly and they consider it unfair. Saying F*ck has never solved a problem
I'm fairly certain that part of the Cambridge Analytica data manipulation scandal thing was that they managed to throw an election by targeting users on the fence and susceptible to the "I don't need to vote" or the "voting doesn't matter" type comments and memes.
They targeted their client's opposition's voters with these, caused a really low turnout of voters in that demographic, allowing their client to win.
Don't get sucked into these things.
Vote how you want, even if it's just the uninspiring, boring, lesser evil, whatever.
