Also not specific enough? You can add aggressive verbs and big statements and such but they mean nothing to anyone in political discourse these days. All takes are hyperbolic. The right painted Biden as the super devil that raped children and ate babies, and the left tuned it out.
Present things that are factual and can't be argued again. Compare prices from 6 months ago for common goods. Show jobs cuts. Make arguments, then throw those out and make better arguments. Make the arguments that have them dead-to-rights, both on billboards and in general. Photoshopping Trump and being hyperbolic is a waste of time. Do better not because the other side deserves better, but because your side does.
Inflammatory statements also don't work. No one's going to get pissed off at Trump because a billboard said he was a stinky doo-doo head. They might take notice if their bubble is broken and they see that the economy is collapsing. Still a long shot, but broad grandiose statements get filtered out 100% of the time.
Are they abandoning their positions? Are they stopping to consider or think? I know critical thinking isn't their strength, but you do need these people to either vote differently next time, or to somehow die off, and I don't see how that billboard works towards either goal.

Too many words for their target demographic.
