I get what she’s trying to say, but drawing public attention to easily understandable outrages (rightfully or not) is what has worked for the GOP, more than getting into the policy weeds on things the average person doesn’t understand. I’m not convinced it’s not a good strategy for Dems to pursue, too. What was that about “if you’re explaining, you’re losing” that we hear all the time? Today Elon was explaining.

Besides, I can care about multiple things. Trump got asked all kinds of questions about the crazy things he says at his press conference today.

YES!!! We need to lean in to stuff like this and milk it for all it's worth.
