The big thing to me is helping the “opposition” (that I put in quotes) clarify their values. Many of them say they oppose illegal immigration to get violent criminals out of America. (Many others are racists) We can focus on details that show Republicans don’t care about violent offenders, ignoring them to focus on nonviolent immigrants, and that Democratic organization successfully removes them.
A big point in favor of this is showcasing how many people were deported under Obama. It was more than Trump! The reason it’s not highlighted because it was “business as usual” going after violent offenders, not to mention scaling down operations from prior admins, and because the organization didn’t receive direct interference to make big shows of hurting innocent people.
People can get more done, more effectively, when their boss isn’t trying to make news headlines about it.
In a modern world where Indiana voted for Obama and where brown people of all shades are now flocking to Trump, I don’t think there’s any hard evidence for this tired (and by definition unfalsifiable) line and I think that throwing it around casually is now serving mostly to make the left toxic, both in the USA and here in Europe. That’s my view.
On the rest, sure. Mastering the media narrative is as important as ever.

If you want to make the argument that “there are no racists” in America, that is a starkly uphill claim to make.
I acknowledge a huge number of voters are not like that. Which is why I talked about them first and regarded Others as being racist. Which is true.
