Learn about fear mongering by the far right and how to respond. Return to .... TOOLS And TIPS COUNTER-MESSAGING: Responding to fear-mongering SURVEY: Crime, family values must be Democratic issues too. We’re all hearing a lot about messaging, and rightly so. As the old saying goes, “Perception is reality,” and Democrats have a reputation for doing a worse job than the MAGA right at shaping perceptions. PSG Consulting recently presented the results of a Hart Research survey of 2,500 registered voters in Sept. 2023 designed to identify which fear-mongering messaging about “others” is most effective with which groups of voters, and what counter messaging works best. Some of the results challenge traditional Democratic assumptions about what “our” voters care about and provide important guidance for what themes we need to hit, and avoid, to win this November. For example: Attacks about rising crime rates are a major vulnerability for Democrats and must be treated seriously, not just as a “dog whistle” about racism. Rhetoric against trans athletes is very widespread and effective. Voters of color (not just the stereotypical Trump supporter) are vulnerable to concerns about traditional family values and gender roles. According to the survey, the counter-messaging that works best is strong “callouts of politicians’ divisive fearmongering.” Examples that tested well with voters includes: Righteous anger : “Enough is enough. It’s time to see through the fearmongering that some polit icians are using to distract us from the real issues facing our nation. While the rich get even richer, the rest of us struggle with rising costs and wages that don’t keep up. If they want us to blame our neighbors and people they say are different instead of holding corporations and corrupt politicians accountable.” Fre edom : “America is about freedom for all. It is a national promise written in the Declaration of Independence. As a country we fight not just for our own freedoms but the freedoms of all people regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. If one of us loses our freedom because of who we are what we look like or what we believe we all lose.” Immigrant foundation : “Our nation’s founders were immigrants seeking a better life, driven by the promise of liberty and equality. Like them, many others have come to America seeking freedom from oppression. When we uphold these values for all, regardless of where they come from or who they are, we build a society that respects individual rights and provides opportunities for everyone to thrive.” You can find more detail on the survey results, and the messaging recommendations, by viewing the Webinar or downloading the slides at the PSG Web site.

Massachusetts activists protecting democracy from far-right attacks by working to elect Democrats. Our Mission Help Wanted in Our Mission Massachusetts volunteers working to elect Democrats and Progressives in Pennsylvania We will continue to work remotely and in-state to turn Pennsylvania blue in upcoming elections. Our activists: conduct letter and postcard campaigns; text and phone bank; fund print, radio, and digital ads; and provide logistical support for groups working in the rural red areas we need to resist the MAGA agenda and win to secure our shared values. Our story: MA Flip PA We're not done! Processing results of 2024 and fighting back Let's win the 2026 mid-terms ! Living in the Massachusetts “blue bubble,” it’s easy to feel there’s little you can do to protect our democracy from a rapidly increasing number of far-right attacks. But what if you look further afield? Pennsylvania, the closest big (19 electoral votes) swing state to Massachusetts needs not only our financial contributions, but our time, talents, and political activism. By working to elect Democrats, not only at the Presidential and Congressional level, but at the gubernatorial, legislative, and county level, we help protect voting rights and the vote counting process against right-wing attack in this critical swing state. That’s why we formed MAFlipPA, a Massachusetts-based political action group that connects 450+ Massachusetts residents with trusted Pennsylvania-based partners all working to elect Democrats and progressives to local, state-level, and national office. Pennsylvania is the closest big swing state to Massachusetts. Only a four to seven-hour drive away lie major swing population centers ready for canvassing and other vital in-person work. Unlike many states, Pennsylvania voters elect both the legislature AND the judiciary. Both will be involved in shaping future congressional districts, adjudicating challenges to voter suppression laws, and affirming presidential election results. We are continuing our efforts to elect Democratic and progressive legislators and judges in the state. We will not be silenced. Help us win the mid-terms!

Suggested wording for conversations from Rust Belt Rising. It's critical that our messaging be spot-on. Return to .... TOOLS And TIPS 12 Messaging Tips from Rust Belt Rising As we move into the home stretch of the campaign, it’s critical that our messaging be spot-on. Check out these tips from Rust Belt Rising, based on a survey of 1,631 likely voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Here are some of their top takeaways, followed by some suggested wording for conversations: The most important issues to voters this election: abortion and the cost of living. Abortion galvanizes Democratic voters, but Independents are overwhelmingly focused on the cost of living. We must talk about abortion to make the real stakes clear and raise its salience, but we must also present a strong economic argument to persuade undecided voters. More voters report that they’ve heard about Trump’s plans for the economy and costs than VP Harris’s. Fully 60% of Independents report they’ve heard only a little or nothing at all about Harris’s economic plans. We need to close that gap! Despite lack of information about Harris’s economic agenda, Democrats do hold an advantage in trust not only on abortion policy but on these specific economic issues: reigning in corporate price gouging reducing health care and prescription drug prices putting workers and consumers before big corporations protecting Medicare and Social Security. VP Harris’ plans include what people report would most improve their economic circumstances: We must remain disciplined and focus on these four things when discussing the cost-of-living issue with voters. bringing down the costs of food and groceries, health care, and prescription drugs cutting middle-class taxes making it easier to afford a home or rent While voters say they trust Republicans on the economy and inflation more than Democrats, RBR’s poll finds several winning economic arguments for progressives. Voters are looking for a strong economic agenda that raises taxes on the 1% and large corporations and imposes tougher penalties on price-gouging monopolies. Price gouging is a winning issue: Democratic plans to address this issue are 20% more popular than GOP messaging on the topic. Voters respond positively to messages about how VP Harris has stood up to banks and plans to reduce costs. When discussing Project 2025, emphasize that it reveals these three Republicans goals: to cut and privatize Medicare to cut Social Security to raise the retirement age Women want equal pay for equal work, protection of women’s right to decide when to start a family, and easier access to childcare, all things the Harris campaign promises to support. The Trump campaign? Not so much… The freedoms most important to people are the freedom to vote and have their votes counted; the freedom to get health care they can afford; and the freedom to retire with dignity and security, all things the Harris campaign promises to support. The Trump campaign? Again, not so much… These economic policies are of more importance to voters: cutting taxes for the middle class and working families with children providing tax credits for first-time homebuyers enacting a federal ban on price-gouging These economic policies are of lesser importance to voters: cutting taxes on corporations and job-creators implementing tariffs on imports unleashing energy production repealing regulations 12. Young people particularly like the housing agenda. Prioritizing owning a home or renting numbers is the highest priority for young people.
