This drives the algorithms and makes it appear that more than 6 people even know you exist.
Keep repeating this over and over, filling your clients Twitter feed with repetitive content and hope they don’t notice how unoriginal your work is #HolcoftProTips

Then go use your personal account to retweet your work account and use ad hominem attacks, outrageous language and pretend your super duper appalled. Then go back to your clients account and retweet your retweet. See!! Looks almost like support!! #HolcroftProTip
Help your client plan a “national day of action” where anti gun doctors and supporters can come together and pat you on the back for ignoring crime. Make sure it’s way more successful than your opponents.

Ok this year do it online. Covid has everyone at home - surely thousands will tune in to listen to your incredible advocacy ... right? Ah crap.
#HolcroftProTip

Don’t panic - you can air it a second time and capture a far larger audience than the first time ... right?
Oh
Oh

Never mind all that - YouTube is where everyone goes to listen to inspirational and informative talks. Start a Chanel for your client with TONS of subscribers and see how many views your material gets over 5 months ... success is within reach!! #HolcroftProTip
If all else fails just make tweets claiming your clients are being attacked for being a woman while you attack ... well, a woman (me).
Oh, and don’t forget to like and retweet your own tweets for appearance of greater support

I’ll give him some credit - while accusing the CCFR of being US/NRA influenced he secured $300k in funding from AirBnB after they found themselves in hot water for too many murders in their properties ... big US corporate funding to take guns from us .. https://thegunblog.ca/2020/02/05/airbnb-pledges-300000-to-group-campaigning-against-pal-holders/
