Silver lining about all the chaos that's happening in AB is that the mask is off now. UCP no longer have a rally cry to restore Alberta. We're seeing their vision & it amounts to an economic dumpster fire. Each #ableg policy adds more gasoline.

They own the mess. All of it. 🧵👇🏾 https://twitter.com/christinaggames/status/1288083638685327361
Best thing opposition/dissidents can do is to document, communicate, & appeal to the masses, who should objectively be appalled by this government.

It will sway public opinion & rally the troops. Guaranteed.
There was 1m votes for the UCP, but 800k for other parties. Many, many tight races as well with slim margibs.

What are the odds that the 200k margin can be made up if there's an effective campaign that persists over the next 3 years of this term?

I think it's very good.
The movement against the UCP doesn't have to win over everyone. That's impossible.

There are some so steeped in the primordial soup of Albertan conservatism, you can't concince them the sky is blue if Kenney says it's pink.

That's fine. Let them be.

Not even worth debating.
The opposition should focus on rallying the swing voters, the politically disinterested, the youth turning 18, and disenfranchised moderate conservatives.

That's what will make up the margin.
Put it in plain terms how provincial politics impacts their everyday life.

Explain how the UCP has made so many aspects of life more expensive, eroded our social services & public sector and chased ideological ideals that few actually agree with.
They have attacked the things we measure our quality of life with and they've done so with superficial manufactured consent (eg. endless panels of friends) and an army of overpaid trolls to gaslight the public.
If those groups are motivated, the UCP doesn't stand a chance against a tidal wave of that magnitude equipped with simple truths & are hungry for real progress.

Even in the face of UCP lies, gaslighting, boogeyman rally cries, & appeal to seperatists.
Their dogwhistles about superficial, outdated cultural charicatures of what it means to be a true blue, old stock, pure bred Albertan.

It's effective for their base but broadly speaking, it's a load of BS.

It works counter to building a populist movement. People sense that.
They will lose badly with even a mediocre movement against them.

If it's pulled off masterfully, it will be an orange tidal wave in three years.

I absolutely believe that.

Don't lose faith. 🍊
A good habit to start & to spread is donating small bits to Alberta NDP.

UCP doing stupid things?
Donate.

Your birthday comes up?
Ask for donations.

Someone asks what they can do?
Tell them to donate.

Donate. Donate. Donate.
Even if it's $5.

It all helps and adds up. 💪🏾🍊
