2. This is not complicated. Eat the rich.

Trump is selling the top jobs to billionaires, who intend to use those positions to make themselves even richer.

It could not possibly be any more clear.

The American people get this, and they are completely at odds with the Beltway mentality and the corporate-controlled media. This is why there has been such gnashing of teeth about the American response to the killing of Brian Thompson, CEO of UHC. Nobody is advocating vigilante justice, but the American people DO want justice nonetheless, and that's what the Beltway doesn't understand.

Economic justice is the winning issue, and it will be a winner every day for the next 4 years because economic INJUSTICE is what the Trump mobsters are going to be trying to accomplish every day.

We have to put this into tangible terms:

* Windfall profits tax
* Top tax rate of 70%, just like it was 1965-1981 when America built the strongest middle class ever
* Break up monopolies
* Hold social media operators accountable for disinformation
* Take half the money raised from that top tax bracket to reduce the debt and the other half to solidify Social Security fund into the 22nd Century and pay for 4-year college or trade school for all students that demonstrate aptitude and commitment
* Etc.

We have to sell a real plan, not just oppose Trump.
