Liberals don’t hate America

God knows, conservatives have more than their share of marketing issues. They don’t know how to use any of the channels. They don’t understand timing. They’re constantly reactive – never proactive. They underestimate the left constantly. The list goes on… But probably their worst problem is their inability to craft and articulate a message that resonates. Chief among them is the lazy assertion made by conservative media, talk radio, and some politicians alike: Liberals (the left) hates America. While there are undoubtedly some on the left who do – and that case is easiest to make about those running…

The midterms are not the most important election

On November 8, and in some places, a month before, and in other places, a month after, Americans will go to the polls, or random boxes in the streets, or their local post office, and vote for their Congresspeople. With everything belonging to the Democrats right now, the House and Senate both need to pick up enough Republicans to reintroduce gridlock into our system. (Because I think we can all agree our government is most successful when it gets nothing done.) However, this isn’t the most important election of our time. It’s not even the most important election in…

The “great reset” joke’s on them

Many conservatives and the three remaining journalists are starting to unearth evidence to support the conspiracy theory that the “vaccines” were really about population control. The evidence comes from writers like Alex Berenson and The Ethical Skeptic and podcasts like Todd Herman’s. The data is showing that those who were vaccinated are dying at a greater rate than the unvaccinated. I know many of the socialists who are trying like hell to run things were saying, if not hoping, that the conservatives who didn’t get the vaccination would die, as a result. But if this data is true, it’s…

Republicans can’t ignore LinkedIn

LinkedIn feeds, seen by millions, have gotten increasingly political in the past few years – especially in the tech sector, and the Republican Party representation is, as always, nowhere to be found. Political activism has always been a component of LinkedIn, whether better pay for women in the tech sector, salary transparency, their company’s climate activism, or diversity in the workforce. But when COVID hit, people started airing out their mental illness. Probably not surprising this coincided with transgender activism. And then when the Dobbs Supreme Court decision was decided, everyone took great pride on coming out to talk…

Battling corruption: the Republican winning message

The Republican Party needs a winning message – not just for the 2022 midterms, but for the 2024 general election, as well. Nothing could be more powerful than fighting corruption. The country is terribly divided right now. It’s accentuated by the fact that the parties, and those who defend them, are so aggressively at each other’s throats about, well… everything. It used to be that the two parties wanted the best for America, but disagreed on how to get there. Now they disagree on the fundamental direction of the country, and many will tell you we can’t come back…

Everything was by the book, so what’s the problem?

This week, I stayed at a hotel that advertising having a refrigerator in every room. It wasn’t the only reason I selected this hotel, but it was among them, since I had some goods that would need refrigeration. When I got to the room, I found it did, indeed, have a refrigerator. It was completely full of cans of soda and bottles of various waters. Each was in a mechanism that would track if it was removed from the refrigerator. I had several bottles of my own and a bag of food that would have fit in the refrigerator,…

GOP has no one to blame but themselves

The GOP’s inability to effectively respond to the raid on Trump’s home in Mar-a-lago is nothing more than a complete marketing failure. There is no purpose or unity in Republican marketing because there is no marketing department with a strategy and a message. Republicans are all out there saying whatever they think (and, being Republicans, there’s a lot of independent thought out there to corral), with no unity or strategy, or not saying anything at all. This story requires a coordinated offensive – especially because they don’t have any media or cultural support to amplify their message. Democrats have…

The Republican marketing problem in one picture

As I’ve written many times, the Republican brand, thanks to Democrat marketing (and a complete absence of Republican marketing) is synonymous with racism, hate, ignorance, violence, and misinformation. Check out this screenshot from Bumble, a dating app in which women “make the first move.” This woman wrote that she won’t date anyone who smokes or has bad hygiene. But more importantly, she equated Trump supporters – Republicans, with “hate, racism, ignorance, violence, and misinformation.” This supports my premise that there are many conservatives out there who vote for Democrats because they figure, they’re not racist or homophobic or sexist,…

Let me help some of you with the Dobbs abortion decision

If the Supreme Court wanted to tell women what to do with their bodies, they’d mandate they stop having unprotected sex before marriage. They wouldn’t wait until they needed an abortion to tell them they can’t have one. Or, another option: The Supreme Court isn’t interested in telling women what they can and can’t do at all. They may just be ruling based on the Constitution.

It’s about election security

The 2020 presidential election is over. Many believe it was stolen. I agree, though not in the ways many are saying, as I’ve written before. But it’s over. It’s not going to be reversed, and there are probably very few people who might change their opinion on it, no matter what they hear or what proof they’re offered. Certainly, we should learn from what happened to ensure it can’t be repeated, but that brings me to the point: Conservatives should be talking about future election security, not past potential election compromise. If everyone is interested in fairness and allowing…
