Please for the love of god MAGAtards keep blaming the republican establishment for Trump. It's our best shot at winning the Georgia runoffs.
I have no confidence whatsoever that they will do this... but the Democrats need to devote a good percentage of the windfall they're about to receive to social media campaigns targeted to rural Trump voters and blaming the GOP for turning their backs on them. I'm tempted to just do it myself instead of donating to them.
this should have been happening his whole presidency

Soros and Bloomberg should offer to pay off Trump's debts if he starts a MAGA party and takes the crazy wing of the GOP (the Gaetz/Gohmert types) with him, and if that party runs in every state and national election from now on

Agreed. Create a phantom PAC with a name like "Apple Pie Jesus PAC" that quietly raises money and then 72 hours before the runoff election launches an ad blitz about how the GOP betrayed Trump.
If the Lincoln Project's half-hearted disinformation campaign can get 1.3% of South Carolina to vote for DR. BILL BLEDSOE, a better and more organized disinformation campaign should be able to convince 3-5% of the MAGAtards to stay home.
If I knew about these literally millions of people Trump encouraged to crawl out of their hole, I would have left years ago :lol
I wonder what the solution is?
The easy criticism is that these people are just "dumb," but it goes beyond that. Plenty of people who would score well on IQ tests behave irrationally just the same. Raw intelligence doesn't necessarily confer the ability to recognize your innate biases and weed out disinformation. An example is Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt, whose opinions on the pandemic are about as dumb as a Trumptard's opinion on politics.
I think the primary barriers to rational thought are pride, ego, and a stubbornness to concede beliefs because you don't want to give the "other side" a victory. And this attitude is symptomatic of a deeper American sickness that prioritizes "winning" above all else. It's precisely why Trump got elected.
My solution is that we need to expand the concept of "education" beyond just having students learning by rote from textbooks. We should emphasize to children in their formative years the ideas of humility, introspection, and not to fear failure, that "losing" is okay if you learn something. That cliche of "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game" needs to comeback en vogue.

Should have, but actually fortunately did not.
I said in another post that if Trump had had his social media disabled at the start of the pandemic, he may have been re-elected. Sure, the covid response and his press conferences, and certainly the first debate showed it as well. But months and months worth of ridiculous tweets really revealed to the American people what kind of unconscionable sociopath he truly is. Not alone, but I believe his tweets were a big part of his election downfall. And it was still close, so if those tweets just got a small percentage of anti-Trumpers to vote, thank God they didn’t censor his tweets earlier in his presidency.

Very solid take.
I'll just add insecurity and the need for some people to find a leader driving and giving a meaning to their existence. Kind of an Alpha-beta thing.
That's very similar to what happens in sects where you can find intelligent, educated adpets who will suddenly believe whatever charismatic wacko convincing them that he'll bring them to Sirius to accomplish their destiny.

I probably should've added fear to the list of barriers. It's these barriers that allow religious ideas to take root in someone's mind. Now I want to clarify that "religious ideas" doesn't always mean belief in a "sky daddy." I think Elon Musk has a more irrational set of beliefs than the Pope. To me, the Pope is an eminently more rational individual than someone like Musk because he at least allows humanistic principles to guide his thinking and overall worldview. Musk is a sociopathic oligarch with a silly mentality that reads like bad science fiction.
But I'm not necessarily talking about the extent of someone's religiosity, I'm talking a general irrationality in people that prevents someone from reflecting on the validity of their ideas. I'll return to the Michael Levitt example. He continues to double-down on his idiotic covid takes despite being proven wrong again and again. And his opinions are doing real damage because he's drummed up a significant following in the covid truther community. Because he's a "noble prize winner," they use him to legitimize their opinion.
Where I'm going with all of this is that I think primary education needs to teach students how to think in terms of analyzing your own biases and not seeing the exchange of ideas as a competition. The type of people who the dems need to learn to talk are so entrenched in MAGA, blind patriotism, and a staunch belief in capitalism that they'll just double down rather than concede to the "evil dems." And yeah, while I don't agree with your Roe vs. Wade idea, I understand the logic in repealing it, so they'll have little excuse of why they don't vote for the "baby killing" democratic party.
And you know I agree on the dems not making "woke shit" a core part of their platform.

I doubt they will make abortion a Federal crime.
I think they will not ban abortion, but leave abortion to "states rights",
so white women of means in banning red/slave states will be able to afford to travel to a state that permits abortion.
iow, no right to abortion will me poor women, esp black, brown women, in abortion-denying states, won't be able to afford it

WASHINGTON—Bucking centuries of precedent with a decision not to participate in the peaceful transfer of his authority, Donald Trump Jr. has refused to step down from his post as the president’s oldest son, sources confirmed Wednesday. “I, Don Trump Jr.—or, I should now say, Don Biden Jr.—will continue to fulfill my duties as the president’s eldest male offspring regardless of any attempts to unseat me or render my position illegitimate,” the 42-year-old real estate heir told reporters, saying he looked forward to promoting president-elect Joe Biden’s personal brand and to spending holidays with the first family, during which he hoped to bond with his “new siblings” Hunter and Ashley. “In this tumultuous time, the nation needs continuity, and through my proven experience as the president’s first male issue, I can provide that. Let me be clear: I am the commander-in-chief’s very special boy, and I will continue in this role for four more years. I’ve already filed a lawsuit to halt the installation of any other person in my position and, if necessary, will pursue this matter all the way to the Supreme Court.” At press time, the U.S. Supreme Court had issued a summary judgment declaring that the last person to claim the post of president’s oldest son had never officially stepped down, and thus the role still rightfully belonged to George W. Bush.
