They stick with messaging that people in that bubble will believe in and get enthusiastic about, maybe even fervent.

It'll get the hardcore MAGA cult riled up, for sure. However the problem with Trump's base is that's it's been shrinking since the last election and he hasn't gained any traction anywhere else. The guy won in 2016 by the thinnest of margins, roughly 77,000 votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin-- three states that Biden currently has significant leads in.
Biden is also leading in most of the other swing states as well. Trump and the GOP are in trouble. The only way they'll win this thing is with ridiculous amounts of cheating, voter suppression, and Russian interference. Sadly though, that could still possibly work for them if the Dems don't get out there and vote like their lives depend on it.
