 Sales to Chief’s game soared 40% on rumor that @dcb8bf28 will be there.

And some progressives still roll their eyes when I say we need 5 major celebrities to hold a joint- press conference and urge their fans to rise up and vote against fascism.

We lose because we rarely put up a fight.

 @40cd5708 @dcb8bf28 — proof of this assertion is demonstrated in a book called INFLUENCE by Cialdini. Social scientists conducted a study based off an admission George Clooney made about believing climate change was man made — climate change resistant people changed their minds just because of Clooney’s example.

 @40cd5708 Absolutely! My local LWV is using Taylor Swift’s successful call to register to vote as a challenge to get volunteers fired up to do the same.

 @40cd5708 @dcb8bf28 these people will never say or do anything that might in any way damage their celebrity or risk shutting the money faucet off
