If they vote, we’d better try to reach them, yes
Some of the moron vote is beyond help e.g. the Obama phone lady, but for others it may take things getting so bad that any alternative to Obama’s socialism would be better. Sadly it might take the US turning into East Germany complete with a border fence to keep people from fleeing.
Reach them how? By promising them more goodies than Obama? Because they vote for whoever gets them more goodies.
Exactly.
I think they need to be constantly reminded that they are slaves to the democrat party and show them the conservative path to freedom. I suspect you could even use their socialist indoctrination against the democrats.
“We need to start using — and this is what low-information people understand — one- and two-sentence terms and repeat it over and over and over and over. And that’s what the progressives have done and that’s why they win.”
The caller is correct. Another thing is that conservatives are too busy praying and actually thinking everyone will play by the rules. Dems DONT. They will do everything, meaning cheat, to win and I doubt conservatives will do that.
I think it will have to come bottom-up, from the red states first. Hopefully the 10th Amendment won’t be quashed before this happens. Once states like Texas, Oklahoma and others start pushing back against the statist tide and prosper, it will eventually trickle up to the federal level. Hopefully it’s not too late.
“I think they need to be constantly reminded that they are slaves to the democrat party and show them the conservative path to freedom.”
You have to understand, they don’t see themselves as slaves. You can’t appeal to their intellect. As sad as this is, “feelings” are treated as facts.
Feelings inspire action. Persuasion works best when it focuses most on core emotions, not cerebral abstractions.
You don’t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.
And you lose when you don’t even try.
Encouraging prepping is a good foot in the door strategy. It appears to be non partisan, but encourages self sufficiency and not waiting for the government to come rescue you from a hurricane.
I actually don’t agree with Rush. Obama lost this election by legal votes. He did not legally win.
He won because the low info voteers were pushed to commit fraud.
That is why we see odd polls like “the American people say we are going in the wrong direction”.
Very true, but that won’t fix voter fraud that goes unanswered.
You want low info? Look at the Republican party leadership. We have 24 months between elections. We’ve burned up a month and a half, and where are they? Still scratching their heads.
“And you lose when you don’t even try.”
I didn’t say not to try, just do it differently.
Agree.
And one of the most powerful feelings is in feeling betrayed. They need to know that Obama and the Democrats are taking them for granted, keeping them in poverty, and laughing behind their backs that they STILL got reelected.
And it's true, they don't watch ABC, CBS, NBC, or listen to Rush Limbaugh. They are on social media most of the day. That's where they need to be reached.
How much info does an inner city single Mom need to make a decision on who to vote for? Here’s what an inner city single Mom cares about.
“I’m scared for me and my kids. Can you help me?”
The Democrats used Behavioral Scientists who taught them to use fear to manipulate people. It’s sickening but effective. Our big political science brains are trying to squeeze out an extra four votes in a precinct while the Democrats are going after millions across the country.
“Understand yourself and understand your opponent, and in one hundred battles, you will not be defeated.”
Well one thing we could do is get rid of Boehner and elect representatives and leaders like Allen West who will tell it straight and put it into language these idiots can understand. For example, instead of saying Obama’s plans are unacceptable state that Obama is a petty tyrant who is spending us into bankruptcy. Tell it straight into kitchen table language.
I think SOME will vote for a candidate who does a really good job of articulating the advantages of a real economic recovery and the pride and liberty and better life that comes with making your own living
SOME. I realize... not all.
But we only need SOME.
Yes, unfortunately the techniques of propaganda and brain-washing are well known...and, as we’ve been seeing, quite effective.
Let’s just say that the next R candidate would be wise to at least study a little basic marketing before going on the campaign
