Charles Duhigg: What MAGA Can Teach Democrats

<div>

<p>Apart from all the lies MAGA is forced to say in defense of Donald Trump, the movement is actually better at political organizing than Democrats. So while the Dems can pull off the massive No Kings rallies, the protests are just one day and the energy can fizzle away. But MAGA is really focused on turning out the vote so they can win. And they got the idea from the big tent campaign tactics that Obama deployed in 2008 and 2012. Plus, some advice on how Dem candidates can turn their communications into a superpower—like stop proposing solutions when voters are mad and just want to vent.<strong><br /></strong><br />The New Yorker’s <strong>Charles Duhigg</strong> joins Tim Miller.</p><p><em>show notes<br /></em><br /></p></div><ul>
