The right wing is the target audience! That's the whole point. You can't even get to the sales pitch if you can't get your foot in their door.
Try posting this in a right wing sub and see what happens, and why. See if you can even get them to the message.
My goal this year is to vote in the midterms and to try and get at least two people I know to change their votes. I can't mention this guy because I'll just get shut down and nothing is gained.
We don't need PERFECT but we do need a guy who hasn't been accused with zapping his dog with no way for me to refute it, I can't sell that to my two people before the midterms I'll just get a door slammed on the sales pitch. He really needs to make this go away any way he can.
MAGA are not conscious beings. They’re not anyone’s target. Undecided/apathetic voters are, and you’re again assuming true some bullshit smear campaign, something that will arise for any figure that makes positive statements. Just like Hillary ran a rape pizzeria, just like Abdul protected criminal immigrants.
The right wing are never the target audience. They will never see reason. If they are truly centrist then they will vote for their interests. But in order to do that they have to be informed. In order to be informed, there has to be someone to inform them. Whoever that is is going to be attacked by the establishment who doesn't want an informed populace. The only people that won't be attacked are the people that want the status quo maintained and corporate interests protected.
I consider the right wing in this context anyone who could vote right. I have a hard time labeling someone who is scratching their head over the options today "centrist" or "independent"
