Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

What the left hasn't learned yet is that the facts are insufficient to counter the "big lie".

I disagree. A chart showing the increasing gap between productivity and median wages along with the headline "you're not getting your share of the wealth" would be extremely powerful. Money and status concerns come very close to trumping emotional narratives.

The democrats can't shake the tree anymore as they are corporate sponsored, and no way will the MSM allow this sort of populist rhetoric in their papers. The only "populism" we're allowed is Lou Dobbs blaming Mexican laborers for the decline of the middle class.

you are the media you consume.

...are you getting your share?

Would be a good slogan to go with the chart, because it uses a simile that is very common in folk economic defences of the neoliberal economic order.
