(36,047 posts)control of the Master Narrative about Republicans.
After the congressional confirmation mini-drama on Monday, Democrats and leadership should slam into our version of their old school master narrative, which is "Stoke negative partisanship."
Americans must go to the 2022 and 2024 polls with a strong, valid, permanent fear of letting the GOP back into power.
The party must be negatively branding the GOP in the eyes of swing and persuadable voters 24/7.
Pre-empt Republicans drama that's media worthy. Keep Republican media in reactive mode.
Approaches are arguable, but the master narrative is:
-- The Republican Party can no longer be trusted with power.
-- Repeat this endlessly, verify this narrative with public record misdeeds, criminality and seditious acts.
-- Brand the Republican Party as the party of misdeeds and blind followers of any power, foreign and domestic, not just as current aberrant Trumpist corruption that defines their current loyalty platform.
-- Call the disastrous Republican economy that Biden will inherit the disastrous Republican economy.
-- Call the Republican pandemic crisis the Republican pandemic crisis.
-- Always trumpet the success of Democratic initiatives.
-- Always trumpet the danger of letting Republicans back into power -- constantly remind Americans of economic, religious, corruption of pandemic response under Trump.
