Democrats are running a con against the American people

In 2024, Democrats used a coordinated network of social media influencers to make affordability the defining issue of the midterms, and they’ll do it again.

If you think the title of this blog is an exaggeration, trust me, it’s not. Months before the midterm elections, an organization infiltrated the social media network with the lie that affordability was the driving issue in this country. And through their network, they convinced voters it was true.

It was a lie, and it cost Republicans the election.

How did this happen?

The Democrat party has formed the American Accountability Network, which can be weaponized to promote a key issue across social media. Van Jones of CNN broke the news after the election and jeered that Republicans never figured out what was happening.

The American Accountability Network selects agents to communicate its message, and those agents recruit thousands of people/subagents to post the message on social media. In the case of affordability, people were told over and over again that the problem was the result of Trump’s and Republicans’ activities, that what the people were feeling was true, and the Democrats were the only ones to solve the problem.

Here is how the AAN describes its strategy:

The American Accountability Network is a powerful consortium of advocates, content creators, organizers, and influencers who together have formed an ecosystem that has the ability to shape political narratives, reach the public at scale, and mobilize people to take action.

Our core network online consists of thousands of advocates, including many who have hundreds of thousands and millions of followers. Across all the major platforms our network reaches an average of 200+ million people each week.

They also list on their website the people who propagate “right wing misinformation,” to suggest that their organization is working

This did not get 20 million extra votes for the ‘RATs. This is to give a reason that is not cheating.

“...an organization infiltrated the social media network with the lie that affordability was the driving issue in this country.”

But, it wasn’t a lie.

The young generation needs a chance. That means something truly needs to be done to make things obtainable for those who work and produce. Affordability is real thing, and the crisis is caused by one thing alone. That one thing is Government deficit spending. Truly, if the Democrats address the spending problem, and make things affordable for the young people in the next 22 months, they will take the White House. If they go ‘socialism’ and start taking property, it will end in civil war. I hope they succeed, but the only real way is to cut Federal Spending.

There are two sides to every story. Democrats’ stories always have two sides to them:

The stories they’re willing to talk about and the ones they can’t afford to.

Almost all of the youtube ads against Susan Collins in Maine dealt with affordability, with a few dealing with abortion and President Trump.

I have been voting since the 70s. In any of those elections did the issue of a potus or congress forcibly lowering consumer prices come up. Price controls are 3rd world communist policies.
