THE ADS DEMOCRATS SHOULD RUN IF THEY (WE) WANT TO WIN

These iconic Americans or their peers should be prominently featured in Democrats' ads debunking the worst lies of the Republicans

 "....They stormed the center floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because they’d been fed wild, falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth because he was angry. He lost an election. Former President Trump’s actions preceding the riot are a disgraceful dereliction of duty. "

Kentucky Republican Senator, former Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, in the well of the Senate, only minutes after casting his vote- NOT GUILTY- in the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump.

Twelve days later....

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will "absolutely" support the 2024 Republican nominee for president, even if it is someone he said was "practically and morally responsible" for provoking an attack on the Capitol.

During a Fox News interview on Thursday evening, McConnell was asked by host Bret Baier about the next presidential election. McConnell said he believes that at least four GOP senators will run, as well as a few governors "and others." Baier pressed McConnell on whether he would back former President Donald Trump if he wins the nomination, and McConnell responded that yes, he "absolutely" would."

That is not a political party. That is an insane asylum. And they want to get back the reins of power to wreak their sick vision of a world on the rest of us where all of our values- and science and facts- are turned upside down.

All that stands in their way is the willingness of Democrats to end the filibuster in the Senate, to outlaw all private contributions to all candidates in federal elections and instead to publicly finance them, to require all attack ads to be previewed by the attackee, who can then film a response to run, free of charge, immediately following every airing of the attack ad, and last but not least:

An organized, coherent, intelligent response of the Democratic Party to the lies being constantly fed to the American public by the Republican Party. That we intend to defund the police. That we are going to take all their guns (not a bad idea, but not something that is part of our platform). That we are socialists who want to turn this country into Venezuela (funny how they never offer Sweden, Denmark, or even Canada as their bugaboo). That we want to impose a health care system that will take away people's right to see their current doctors. That we want to impose a Green New Deal which will throw milliions out of work while raising taxes by tens of thousands of dollars a year on the middle class. The we support infanticide- the murder of babies AFTER they are born (Liz Cheny said this out loud on Meet the Press in 2019). That we are the party of anti-Semitism. (Cheney said that, too, in her Meet the Press appearance).

We need to get the creators of the Lincoln Project ads, the writers and producers of every late night comedy show, and any other creative talent necessary to create, disseminate, and coordinate ads to debunk these gross slanders. The ads should include recognizable, trusted people in them, including former Republicans and celebrities who appeal to all political persuasions. People like Dolly Parton, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, just to name a few off the top of my head. And run those ads NOW. Not 90 days before the next election. Run them in every district. And Democrats should finally decide to meaningfully compete in every contest- in every Congressional district and in every state. Get good, competent, personable, articulate candidates.

We have to puncture their balloons, wrangle their lies to the ground, and highlight their hypocrisy- the"pro life" people having superspreader events that kill the participants, who were responsible with their gross incompetence to hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. The "back the blue" people who have regularly verbally attacked law enforcement in the Federal Government, who have literally incited or later condoned the mounting of an insurrection on Congress that physically attacked the police. The party of fiscal responsibility creating the largest annual deficits in American history- BEFORE the pandemic.

If I can imagine it, they can do it. It ain't all that hard.
