As a recommendation, I'd suggest not focusing on comedians like a few did on Chapelle and the like in 2022. All that does is allow someone to say that "political correctness is out of control, you can't even make a joke". He wasn't really relevant.
Also, "anti-woke" comedy gets boring quickly.
Instead, consider more networking at a more local level. People like to imagine there is some short-cut they might be able to take. Maybe, portray a brighter world in bits of media, maybe because they work in showbiz. I don't think it is that simple and focusing too much on that makes it easier for someone to shout political correctness.
Also, past these points (which actually come from others), they really should have been planning a different candidate a couple of years prior.
That was even what they said they would do, that he would be a one term transitory president. In the end, they left it to the last minute to shove in a candidate who no one really liked.
