Maybe not, since they heard stupidity and simplicity from MAGA media daily. But how well did we make clear the reasons why prices were up after covid when Biden was president? Yes, we told them. But to get through the Magaverse media, we needed to shout out loudly, clearly, and constantly.

We are not responsible for the choices that MAGAs make. But we are responsible for making them aware of choices that we offer. Bernie has said this often.

I am thinking about what I read yesterday about how Magyar won in Hungary. He personally traveled to rural communities that favored Orban and spoke with the people there. He listened to their issues and offered his solutions. He won over enough of them to get a 2/3 majority in the vote.
