How should liberals successfully combat conservative messaging?
Conservative messaging is simple and conservatives/Republicans repeat it constantly across all of right wing media/podcasts until it is burned into people's subconscious.
"Make America Great Again."
"Build the wall."
"Lower egg prices."
"No new wars."
How should liberals successfully pushback against conservative messaging?
Personally, I would love to see Democrats and more liberal media go on the offense more rather than always be on the defense. Ask very direct and specific questions and don't let conservatives/Republicans weasel out of giving an answer.
An example would be Trump planning to pardon all January 6th rioters. I believe we should always ask them "Do you support pardoning January 6th rioters who attacked police officers?" The common weasel response is that it should be on a case by case basis. Instead of liberal media accepting that and moving onto the next topic conservatives/MAGA will avoid answering, we should ask again. It should be clear "the party of law and order" supports and has said they support pardoning people who attack police officers.
