Sad but true.
We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.
It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does. Will these newly-elected commies lower prices? Of course not. Are they gonna get you free healthcare? No, your insurance is gonna get even worse, just like it did the last time they tried socialized medicine. They're not going to do anything they've sold you, but...like Saul Goodman said: if you're committed enough, you can make any story work.
The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly.
It is 100% true that everything's too damn expensive, and we all know that inflated prices are always sticky. Does anyone know that it's entirely the result of shutting down the global economy over the flu and (both naive republicans and democrats) printing infinity dollars for several years? Nope...because nobody has effectively told that story, and it's an unsexy story to tell. "Free stuff!" is a VERY easy story to tell, and when everyone's gotta take out a second mortgage just to pay their insurance premiums, "free healthcare" is an unbeatable story. It doesn't matter that "free healthcare" doesn't exist and socialized medicine is a terrible product...it's not the product, it's the brand. And "FREE!" is a great brand.
You can't get mad at people for having the financial literacy of a 9 year old. I mean, you can, but they outnumber you a million to one, so it's not going to be productive. You need to figure out how to make an unsexy story sexy, or else the "free stuff!" crowd is going to eat your lunch every time. If you give people a choice between earning a six pack on a treadmill or taking Ozempic, they're gonna choose Ozempic...they don't care about the side effects. If you give people a choice between fiscal discipline or free stuff...guess what they'll pick? They don't care about the side effects.
With projected growth of 5%, the economy right now is stronger than it's been in generations. Is that the story you hear? Nope. Is that the vibe you feel? Absolutely not, especially when every time you fill up your gas tank, it feels like a diesel enema.
It's not the product, it's the brand. A great product can fall into oblivion with bad messaging...a single bad review from one effective storyteller can tank a restaurant. The "influencer economy" is lucrative for a reason; everybody inherently understands the importance of effective storytelling...except the right. Zohran Mamdani gets it...he has an army of influencers on staff. In a perfect metaphor of this transitional phase of old guard vs new wave political messaging, Zohran nuked the Vice President into oblivion with maybe the biggest ratio in the history of the internet. By simply posting the subway assistant meme, Mamdani got 2 MILLION likes, quoting a post from the VP that had only 10K likes. If you're reading that sentence thinking "this is fucking ridiculous, you're talking about social media likes as political analysis now?"...you are the problem.
Yes, this stuff matters. Rizz matters. The President did a masterful job of this kind of retail politics in his historic 2024 campaign...you can be angry that this is what politics has been reduced to, but you can either adapt or die.
"No the problem is, you didn't deliver enough for the American people!" Are you a moron? Since when does anybody care about that? What have democrats delivered for Californians in the last 20 years? Unmitigated wildfires, homeless drug zombies everywhere, roads that look like Fallujah in 2004...people don't care about results. They think they care about results. That want you to believe they care about results, just as Nike wants you to believe their shoes are better than New Balance...but at the end of the day, all people really care about is the swoosh.
Adapt or die.

Thune should have been doing these votes months ago. Let voters see Democrats in reality.
🔥🚨 BREAKING — Senate Democrats just KILLED photo voter ID and a BAN on members of Congress trading stocks.
The final vote was 53-47. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED "NAY!"
Schumer called voter ID a “poison pill.” America already has an opinion.
You show ID to buy beer. Show ID to board a plane.
Congress gets to keep trading? Democrats said yes.
LET THAT SINK IN. They voted to protect themselves and to keep the rules soft.
VOTE RED IN NOVEMBER. This is the mask off.

This is disappointing
If American’s voices are going to be silenced by foreigners through mass reporting via Signal and Telegram, then what’s the point of this platform at all?
@desitechsuppoat did nothing but post about Indian H1B fraud in the USA.
@elonmusk is about to have a massive problem.
Replying to @KenPaxtonTX
🚨CEASEFIRE! CEASEFIRE!
@desitechsuppoat has been suspended.
Everyone tag @KenPaxtonTX on his suspended account saying
“This Texas Hero built a custom AI to hunt down all the H1-B fraud in the United States and especially in Texas and have it auto submit forms to the authorities.
This is an absolute gold mine of verifiable fraud that you can prosecute.
He has been suspended on X. Please tell Elon to get him back on and prosecute the H1-B fraud he’s submitting.
This will help you win the election against Talarico - and is possibly the only way to win.”

Elections Matter Example 6,678
Democrat 87,000 voter lead in Nevada has collapsed to 672.
Thanks, enlarge part to the cleaning out of over 400,000 registrations.
The Silver State isn’t a blue firewall anymore.

Today is a good day to start prepping. A few days worth of water and food, plus back up phone batteries at minimum.
China, Iran and other authoritarian states are targeting US critical infrastructure. The recent attacks on water systems in Minnesota and 11 other states by Iran is a warning for how bad things could get.
China has far more resources to direct at US and they are already in many systems.

Letting Chinese cars and components onto Western streets is really dumb
