10. Let's combine computer game play w/ ideas presented by the Bulwark...

Thank you for your comments...

The Bulwark used examples from the movie, "Fight Club"... I'm simply making some observations from computer gaming.
The Musketeer + his minions have lived off the unreality of video gaming for years. This artificial reality has fundamentally
altered their world view. This is a weakness that can be exploited.

Your comment about your son, "He just doesn't see the current situation the way you explain it here," is important. We need to help
our younger generations bridge that phantom gap, suspend that disbelief. This "sleight of hand / mind" / smoke + mirrors is a tool
of the other party -- They truly believe we, the other folks, don't see... won't see... aren't smart enough... cool enough... clever enough
to discern their machinations.

F47 said it himself: " And just remember, What you're seeing and reading is not what's happening."

If we can introduce game theory to young Dems... give them tools... let them wrap their minds + imaginations around the
intricacies of the attacks on America's institutions... I have no doubt they will come up with newer + better ways to trip up these
domestic adversaries...

I love your ideas regarding teams + the Bulwark advice. Who is the Dems firecracker w/ Social Security chops??? Let's build this individual
a team. They will become the Social Security Champion. They will require a surveillance & cybersecurity coordinator w/ a ground team w/ a real world law enforcer, a DA + a diligent judge who supports the Rule of Law... + researchers...

Which of Musk's minions has been tasked w/ destruction / demolition / surveillance of the Social Security database??? We need background, family, school, work records, military (huh?)... Legal snafus... social media presence... We need to dig, dig, dig -- fast, furious + in detail. Follow every lead, overturn every stone. These facts become our ammunition. (+ it's important to remember, the other side will be doing their homework on our teams as well).

We do this with Education, + Health + Human Services, + Military + on + on...

Build a scoreboard: 19 minions + the Boss... + finally, F47...
Take them down one at a time... + let the world know...
More than one team... More than one agency... done at the same time... They don't think we're that nimble...
Broadcast the findings... Champion our wins...
Whittling down the Musketeer + by extension, F47, piece by piece.
Restoring our institutions, agency by agency...

+ press conferences... America needs to know... We not only bring the truth... We hold the powers that be to account.

How about sending copies of these thoughts to our younger Dem representatives... Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost + anyone else ... David
Hogg??? Social media influencers???

+ please know I am simply one more little ol' lady trying to find Democracy's "Kobayashi Maru," while doing one's civic duty to help salvage the grand American experiment. Thank you once again for listening... + hearing...
