Don't try to change the minds of die hard Maga cultists. They're a lost cause.

Focus on swing voters who enabled this change because the price of eggs went up during Biden's presidency. Remind them how nothing is getting cheaper with tariffs wars, and tax cuts for the super rich combined with the eventual gutting of Medicaid are clear signs he doesn't actually care about them, no matter what he says.

Immigration isn't the biggest driver of crime - poverty is. And who is making the average citizen poorer now?

I'll point to this when Conservatives claim that Trump and his toxic cult of personality haven't infiltrated this country. He significantly emboldened vaccine skeptics and gave them a megaphone.

Agreed. Respect for what is essentially the golden rule is the bare minimum to be accepted by a rational society.

Also estate tax loopholes need closing so generational inequality doesn't worsen

Maybe they'll pass once republicans are booted from state legislatures as blowback against 47 mounts.

But aside from donating to NGOs dedicated to cleaning up ocean litter, the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water. It requires lifting fishermen out of poverty, teaching them more sustainable fishing practices, and cracking down on littering, all things that require international cooperation.

He might call another election just before the sale because he needs a strong mandate to carve up this province by finding "efficiencies" (remember those?)

Yea, despite Marit Stiles' best efforts (and Bonnie Crombie's mediocre efforts), Ford is better at getting headlines when he needs them. They didn't get enough opportunities to challenge his narrative and call him out on his scandals.

And since Trump distracted everybody, Dougie bet that voters would be too burned out to kick him out of office. With a 45% turnout this election, he was unfortunately correct.

I guess we get the governments we deserve. Bribing people with their own money seems to work on the average Ontarian.
