If we run and get a conservative in the White House, one with coat tails to drive up the numbers in the GOP column (inc. on Capital Hill), we can make Miles Brown and his party sit it out for a very, very long time.
Higher taxes?
Fewer jobs?
More union thuggery?
Yeah, good luck with that.
Is this guy living in some parallel universe where Republicans rule Wisconsin and the protests and "occupy the state house" riots of the past 4 years never happened? Or does he equate Republicans winning every once in awhile with subjugation?
It’s scary how omniscient college seniors believe themselves to be. They don’t pay any real taxes (yet), but they are authorities on how the world should be viewed and handled.
Naive doesn’t even start to express it...
>>This young Democrat sees his party in the political wilderness for decades if the trend in State legislatures and governorships keeps moving to the right.<<
So frequently, we see democrats and liberals saying “we didn’t get our message out!” when the reality is they got their message out perfectly.
The electorate just rejected that message.
Wisconsin is a great example. I was THERE. The left kept saying “you don’t understand how awful Right To Work is” while the hoi polloi answered “yes we do and we like it!”
“The biggest barrier to translating this commonality into a commitment at the polls is failure to cast a narrative that accurately showcases these beliefs.” No little boy, your problem is that Scott Walker forced Democrats to show who they really are and the voters said “No!”
The ugly, violent Wis protests hurt the Left (continues to hurt them).
Walker brings out the worst in their base, which animates the American people to snap out of it and vote R.
I support his effort! If the Rats were to “purify” themselves there would be no more Rats. At this point they are nothing but corruption, led by The Grandma of all Corruption.
This is so sad, it just makes you want to cry yourself to sleep. The horrors of the people of Wisconsin electing politicians who implement a conservative agenda because that’s what the majority wants has to be a nightmare.
Wisconsin Democrats need to take back narrative from Republicans Replace Truth of Republican Narrative With Another False Democrat Narrative - Truth Hurts Them
In the good old days, a few years of struggling to pay their bills and support themselves on an entry level job salary cured that sense of entitlement in young adults. But these days, they can go on for years living off their parents or the public teat so the old cure doesn't work as well anymore.
Scott Walker already has them beaten psychologically.
I know how they can take back the narrative. They could have the police go in the middle of the night, guns drawn, round the conservative’s families’ up, threaten them not to talk to anyone about it, in sight of the whole neighborhood, and count the Republican governor to do nothing about it. Just force the Republicans to shut up by threats of being SWAT-teamed. Boom! The conservative narrative is finished. But nobody would really be able to get away with that.
Well played.
I think I’m starting to understand what Leftists mean when they say stuff that makes no sense. It has something to do with process vs product (outcome). When they talk about democracy, justice, fairness, etc. they’re really talking about outcomes and not processes. Occupy the State House was a process. The product was Walker’s head hanging on a pike. That latter didn’t happen so the former is viewed as “little to no.”
Nice.
So, yes, parallel universes is exactly right.
“The biggest barrier to translating this commonality into a commitment at the polls is failure to cast a narrative that accurately showcases these beliefs.”
Sheesh!...How many people do you know who actually think that way? So the commies in Wisconsin "failed to cast a narrative"? Right
>>Walker brings out the worst in their base, which animates the American people to snap out of it and vote R.<<
IO had the singular advantage of working in Wis and living in TX and shuttling between the two during the elections. It was like I was in the same place in both places, with Abortion Barbie in TX and SEIU Burke n Wis.
Literally, until election day the MSM was saying that Walker and Abbot didn’t have a CHANCE! Especially with unionstargeting both Rs and helping both Ds.
Of course, Walker and Abbott of them wiped the floor with their opposition, just as you said: The D base exposed themselves completely and were rejected,
