12. Assuming we have free elections in 2026 and 2028 and afterwards

Democrats should make it a point to tie the economic crises of the Trump and GW Bush years to the Republican Party.

FDR ran against Herbert Hoover for years after the 1932 elections. I don’t know how long the shelf life of the memory of Trump’s second term will last, but I’d bet on at least half a decade.
