I live in a lefty state, NJ. It's actually more purple than you've been led to believe. My friend started a GOP Executive Committee in the town over. The town went from Dems running unopposed to almost half the town government being Republican. I asked him how I could do it my town in his Facebook group. I was immediately contacted by the county GOP. I created a town GOP page and have over 60 members in a week. Our first meeting is next week.
Take action! We can take over at the local level. Then we worry about state and national seats. Let's build a solid base they can't knock us off of. Good luck pedes!
That is what happened with my local activist group. They continually suspended the head of the group and censored content. I keep urging them to get off fb. They started and mewe page, which is good. But, they waited too late and so most of the followers didn’t know what happened to the page. It’s also really hard to get people to change their habits and try a new platform. They have so many excuses why they still use fb.
