GOP: The Left called him a fascist threat to democracy!

Yes, because he IS.

In comms, we have this thing called frame and reframe.

The Right is used to shifting the ground under an issue by coopting the lingo of the left in order to reframe it as a negative. And they're good at it.

They're trying to do it now.

IMO, I don't think the reaction to them should be to automatically pivot away from "Trump is a threat to democracy" - the Dems have the receipts. I think they should do a both/and: 'Trump continues to be a threat to democracy AND *these are the things we're doing NOW to make our democracy stronger.'

Fuck. I'm just talking into a void. Dems are gonna Dem.
