Republican candidate Donald Trump’s supporters have built a “MAGA wall” online of memes and social media noise that is overwhelming news about Biden’s economic and policy wins, making it impossible to get Democrats’ message across, Clyburn said in a recent interview in his hometown of Columbia, South Carolina.

Clyburn, who at 83 is arguably the most influential Black political voice in the United States, says Biden's campaign needs to focus more attention on building a historic ground game filled with "voices and validators" who can energize voters and combat a looming disinformation campaign. "If we are going to be successful in this campaign, we are going to have to have what I call hand-to-hand combat, boots on the ground. We are going to have to do what is necessary to circumvent, or smash through that MAGA wall that is being built on sound bites,” Clyburn said, referring to the acronym for Trump's Make America Great Again slogan.

Everything the MAGAs post about Biden makes me wish he were who they think he is.

Open borders? I wish.

Taxing the wealthy? I wish.

Defunding the police? I wish.

Completely decriminalizing drugs? I wish.

Socialized healthcare? I wish.

Giving women access to abortion? I wish.

Teaching Critical Race Theory in schools? I wish.

Everything MAGAs complain about is a checklist of what would make a great president. Too bad we've never ever had a single candidate in history who's been remotely like that.

Teddy Roosevelt's critical race theory was, "It is critical that Americans think Filipinos are subhuman so they don't mind us stealing all their stuff."

No, he was awful
