"These person needs to be able to speak in a calm common sense manner. No hyperbole. Be able to go on podcasts and Fox news"

I nominate Pete Buttigieg. He would be perfect for this.

All of your ideas are great. I've also been saying that the people who voted for Trump will have to suffer -- a lot -- before they (might) change their minds about voting for neo-fascists -- Trump or anyone else.

Since Democrats for the time being have very little power to stop the Trump insanity (Trump has the WH, Congress, and the courts), they need to communicate clearly, regularly, and effectively about what Trump is doing (as you say, link it to Project 2025 and how he lied about knowing anything about it) and who it's bad for: farmers, workers, women, middle class, etc.

As you point out, podcasts, social media, and Fox News are where these messages might break through. Effective communication may be our only hope.
