In Hungary

Magyar was able to really get the population to rally around themes about “The corruption needs to stop”.

He did a ton of town hall events. Hungarians knew state media was lying to them and voted to get rid of the corruption.

Not sure that will work here, but I think Maine voters indicate we arent too far off from having that kind of response.

Somewhere in the last few months I read something about how conservative and independent voters in America really respond to “incompetence” and the article was saying that was the theme that needs to be most highlighted in America.

So if I had to vote, “corruption” and “incompetence” would be the themes I would say should be used for campaigns.
