TrumpSocial likely has the same problem the Russian military does: the grifters have already stolen everything of value in it, and now it has to bumble along with no money, shoddy equipment, and poor leadership. ---

I’d go with “Trumpjoinder2024” ---

After workshopping some variations on Facebook, I’ve found that the “write in Trump’s name for EVERYTHING to SEND A MESSAGE” line will probably be more effective than elaborate theories involving joinder. Not as much fun, though….so I’ll probably do some of both. My biggest problem is my own self-discipline, sometimes fellow liberals that think I’m serious will reply to me ( the Trump groups I’ve been commenting to are about 3/4 Trump fans and 1/4 anti-Trumpers) and it’s been hard to resist blowing my cover. I’m working on it, though. ---

No no no, we double down on it. “@Ann_Hedonia is an antifa troll who is trying to _discredit_ the notion that writing in “TRUMP!” for every office will be an effective strategy to allow TRUMP! to become President again! Don’t let those anti-fa trolls trick you into _not_ writing in TRUMP!” ---
