    Won’t fix everything, but it can be a small piece to move the needle a tiny bit. Not all the people listening to fox are the ones deep into the rabbit hole. It’s often turned on in random buildings, gyms, etc. Those infrequent watchers are potentially gettable

    You don’t even have to cause any large shifts in their mind for it to matter here. In an election, tiny 1% shifts in turnout matter. If you convince a tiny percentage that maybe Harris is not as [insert scary term] as they thought, they might not feel quite as pressured to turnout to vote against her

    Or if you convince some percentage that maybe focusing all this energy on demonizing trans people is kind of silly, you can start shifting future conversations towards something else. Republicans do move on from their manufactured issues once they notice it’s no longer having the effect on the base/leaners they were hoping for
