When it doesn't, kill the messenger. Blame Democrats for bad messaging and not fighting hard enough, doing nothing. Ignore fact that their idols' strongly worded yelling finger wagging doesn't change anyone's mind either (deflect by accusing Democrats of rigging, plotting against the heroes speaking truth to power, corruption, as cause of failure).
