Of course we shouldn't let their narratives dictate our actions, but we should at least be aware of them and try to avoid playing into them. Know the enemy.

In this case I think you're correct, but in general we've spent way too long letting them dictate the terms of engagement

They're going to attack our people, whether we give them opportunities or not. I think we need to worry less about playing into them, instead we need to bulldoze through their attacks like the petty insults they are

But I'm this case I fully agree - we need to stop taking the bait when they demand we disavow this guy or that group. It's a loaded question... If you refuse to "disavow", it sounds to the low info voter like you tacitly support someone who sounds bad and scary. If you do, it implies there's some relationship there that you're betraying. You can't answer loaded questions,

We need to do more like El-Sayed did... Turn it back on them as the stupid question it is..."I haven't heard you disavow the Muslim brotherhood, why are you asking me? We all know why you're asking me, come on, say it"

Fucking Cinema right there

We need to do more of that... When you're asked a loaded question, the only answer is make them look stupid for asking.

Ask why some twitch streamer matters. Ask them how many hours a day they're on twitch. Demand to go through the audience one by one and avow or disavow each person together. Pick some of Trump's biggest mistakes and ask them to disavow his choices. Bring up his friendship with Epstein. Ask if they'd commit to impeaching Trump if a video of him with a child comes to light

We need to stop letting them control the narrative, and better yet, create our own
