(4,874 posts)it is written at too high of a level of complexity to have an effect on the target audience. Their eyes will glaze over.
It's not just for them. It's because your message IS so powerful it needs to be heard beyond just the well-educated denizens of DU. Most of the Trumpers cannot think beyond a very short time span. They are addicted to the thrill of "owning the libs", and not thinking of a post-Trump future.
I am experimenting with those I know and asking them "What happens after Trump - what do they want?" None of them can think that far out. Your letter forces them to do so. But they won't be able to digest it. We need to take up this message in ways that they can get it. Keep working on the core message, reduce it to bullet points that are quick to scan. I'll watch for other examples that might be effective.
You're on to something.
Thank you.
