1. Problem is, Democrats are basically honest brokers

who are reluctant to engage in dirty tricks like the right does because the repukes have no conscience. Dems would have to put their conscience aside to fight dirty like the pukes do and it doesn't help when the brand is "when they go low, we go high."

I say let's forget about going high when repunks go low. I say let's give them a taste of their own medicine, including massive voter suppression, starting with framing the narrative by painting the repukes as running a decades-long crime wave for which they've gone unpunished. Then target their most reliable voter base, the RW evangelicals in the suburbs and rural areas and conservative Catholics in suburban parishes with seemingly conservative religious leafleting which actually shame them on their blatant hypocrisy.

Tell conservative Catholics they're risking their immortal souls by siding with Republican RW extremists, who support taking the food out of the mouths of the poor and that the real "non-negotiables" Jesus talked about were indifference and hostility towards the most vulnerable of society.

Are there any progressive Evangelical DUers willing to give us suggestions on penetrating the RW evangelical bubble?
