This is why messaging is so incredibly important. Gutting the CFPB was actually part of the Trump campaign. People who supported him literally went on podcasts and lied about what the CFPB does, and their viewers believed it, where it should've been a disqualifying plan.
We need to get better, not so much at fact-checking, not so much at nuance—we are already GREAT at those—but rather, at tarring, branding, the other side as scammers and conmen.
This may be counter-intuitive to the debate club types—of whom I would call myself a member of—but we must stop attacking their individual ideas, and instead start attacking the underlying value systems from which these ideas arise and the people holding these systems for holding on to them in the first place.
Rs have dishonestly tarred and branded Democrats in such a way that any idea or policy we come up with is immediately rejected by half the country without consideration. We must do the same to the other side, not dishonestly, with lies and misinformation, but because they are, in fact, vile conmen that manipulate and lie to their own base.
In short, stop attacking their policies, start attacking the people creating those policies for lying to, manipulating and abusing their base.
This is unreal. CFPB has helped so many people, and kept large financial companies from defrauding the little guy. Gutting it is insane.
It is.

I mostly agree, Elon's wealth divided among every American would be about $1000-2000
I'm not trying to be mean but:
405,000,000,000 /
263,000,000
Remove all the 0s on the right as long as you have 0s on top and bottom:
405,000 /
263
405,000 / 263 = $1,539.92 for each adult, as I said before $1000-2000
🤨 That's not how math works, try it on your calculator, type in:
405,000,000,000 / 263,000,000
What do you get?
