Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

The Face of Smugness and The Face of Betrayal
CONTINUED UNDER THE CUT BECAUSE THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN, is probably my longest answer yet. Or maybe not, but whatever.

Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?
She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a ‘temporary’ detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps. She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn’t realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn’t handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn’t care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.
And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.
Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State’s detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A. Single. Difference.
So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y’all can shut the fuck up with that “stop making concentration camp comparisons, you’re diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust” bullshit.
In light of all the memes surrounding Ned's cheating scandal, I need some people who might not be in the Try Guys fandom (currently or ever) to realise that there are real people, specifically families with an emphasis on children and significant others, that are being hurt by what Ned (and Alex, but mostly Ned because he was her boss) has done. The company itself is in danger due to Ned causing bad and negative PR, which affects all employees and their families, and the remaining Try Guys are having to deal with losing a close friend of 8+ years because of something so disgusting and harmful. This is all honestly a devastating turn of events, and of course, Eugene, Keith, and Zach can articulate it better than I ever could in this video they put out just an hour or so ago; I highly recommend giving it a watch, especially since it's less than 6 minutes long
