Doesn't matter, kid was a Republican that shot his homie. Gotta stop saying shit about the donation. Don't let any doubt seep in, the bumblecans are leopards eating faces.

Real life doesn't matter. Feelings and emotions do. We need to seriously think about messaging that works, and its not necessarily the truth.

If we go this route, the best chance we have is to discuss the kid's T-Shirt. "Demolition Ranch" is a well known right-wing pro-gun Youtube Channel.

Push that. We need arguments that win, not arguments that are true. (And this one: Demolition Ranch and AR15s is one that is both true and one I feel like we could win).

Unlikely.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm a Republican. From my perspective, Republicans simply understand politics better than Democrats who are too proud to use straightforward and well accepted techniques to get ahead.

Japanese acknowledgement of the Rural vs Urban divide was a huge part of why they created the Emperor and crowned him as the divine messenger of Amatarasu (a Japanese Goddess). Rural folk would actually believe in the myth, while Urban folk (who were largely atheist) accepted the myth as a way to get the rural folk on their side.

Democrats are fighting with one arm tied behind their backs. They refuse to use any kind of "manipulation" in their minds. Alas, politics is a manipulate-or-be-manipulated world.


Or what, you think all Republicans actually believe in MAGA or other ideologies? A huge number of Republicans are simply people using it to further their own goals. If you don't use these techniques, Republicans will simply capture more-and-more of the captive audience because the hypnotic techniques fucking work.
