Democrats have a new strategy to soar to victory in 2026 and beyond and rally the country around their message: get arrested.

Evidently jealous of the success of President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign after Democrats prosecuted him, resulting in a mug shot that Trump turned into campaign merchandise, Democrats have decided to try and replicate Trump’s strategy by getting themselves arrested. So the logic goes, it will rally their base and also paint Trump and Republicans as fascists who are arresting their political opponents.
