and all of what you describe tells us why we dont hear the democrat messaging that Sarah and others are looking for. Where do they do it? And how does boring, true stuff overcome sensational, arousing, untrue comments?

One of the most distressing parts of the Trump era to me is that it represents the triumph of emotion over logic. The idea that emotional stories carry more weight is not new ("if it bleeds, it leads") but Trump has taken it to a new level. And as long as the cult of Trump remains, there is simply no reaching the true cultists. And Fox et. al. isn't going to help bring any real information to those folks. They are a lost cause. I continue to hope that the marginal Trump supporter (the "I'll-hold-my-nose-and-vote-for-Trump" person) can be persuaded next year with the pertinent data.
