That is the target group which includes low information citizens-- although they may not help, they need to know that they should never vote for fascist enablers. To do that they need to know what's happening, to the extent possible. They are not a majority, but they need to help. As for the MAGA's-- I agree they are a lost cause, but they will need to be deprogrammed eventually.

Labeling the GOP the "insurrectionist party" as you suggest is a great idea-- but it needs to be done on social media as well as in person-- that's why making it known that Trump and his GOP allies are lying, gaslighters who trick people into supporting them is SO important.

As for cavasassing for Biden's agenda-- I agree that is important to act on and of course that will help. Probably it's useful to get on social media and push for it in your social network now as well as canvassing (which is more useful at election time) and registering voters-- at the same it's important to let people know what will happen if the GOP is allowed to translate their overarching state legislative power (almost 2:1) back into greater federal power: voting rights for Democratic leaning citizens may be severely diminished.

If the GOP gains back federal power, watch out-- all the best policies in the world won't stand in their destructive path to neo-fascism.
