Find a new tactic that persuades the public. The public doesn't care until it hurts them specifically.

Why do I need to listen to the legacy media when I can just listen to what Trump himself says? Besides, the majority of people do believe it. Everyone who voted against him, a bunch of people who voted for him in spot of it and a bunch of people who voted for him because of it. The two most active republicans on this forum both say they believe it, they just don’t care because they think he’s an economy magician. 53 minutes ago, base698 said: People do not believe the attacks and are tired of being called racists/misogynist/whateverist. GET BETTER MATERIAL IF YOU WANT TO WIN Again, if tris election result had anything to do with campaign styles then the lesson is to do more attacking against more people more of the time. I guess you spent too much time listening to your chosen media and not enough time listening to the candidates to know that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wall Street records would be broken by inflation alone, so no. The Dow is forward looking and it looks like it is predicting better times ahead.

Very early on when we started discussing options to Biden here and discussed Harris, I think it was Wendy who said her biggest obstacle would be being a black woman in America. long ago I learned to not ‘trust’ media and to listen to the source directly, so I have listened to a couple of Trump speeches and rallies, as well as one or two from JD Vance. The message was very clear from ‘their eating the dogs’ to ‘I’ll protect woman if they like it or not’ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy who has been attacking non stop for 10 years won. The people who only just started really attacking a month ago lost. People like John Kelly should have been calling Trump a fascist as soon as he left office and given it some time to really sink in. Again, if you think campaign style made the difference here then attack more with everything you’ve got is the clear lesson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't change the attack nothing changes. For a third time, if you call people racist over and over it's not going to work. Look at the Hispanic numbers and the black vote. It increased over 2020. Attack, but for God sakes don't make it whateverism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the Hispanic numbers and the black vote. It increased over 2020. Exactly, the clear, obvious and easily supported attack of pointing out that he’s a massive racist wasn’t followed through anywhere near effectively enough. Trump said the Democrats were racist more often than they said he was. 1 hour ago, base698 said: Attack, but for God sakes don't make it whateverism.
