Seizing the Narrative

We need to talk about why Republicans don’t talk about the most important and visible issues in front of the electorate at any given time. As a party, Republicans are incredibly bad about not getting in front of the narrative-du-jour and shaping the public discussion. Instead, they continually let the Democrats and the liberal media set the parameters, define the rules and control the ball. The Democrats and their media allies dominate the communications game and conservative Republicans are always playing catch-up and never quite getting there.

Here are some good examples from the recent past:

Hands up, don’t shoot

In the August 2014 Michael Brown incident, Brown (a young black man) was shot by white police officer Darren Wilson. Brown had committed a crime and was stopped by Wilson. While Wilson sat in his car, Brown punched him and attempted to take his gun, resulting in the confrontation in which Brown was shot. No such “Hands up, don’t shoot” moment ever occurred. This was a total lie put forth by the usual progressive race-hustlers and eagerly swallowed up by the leftist media.

The media used this event to portray all police officers (and by extension, all conservatives) as racists who unfairly and indiscriminately shoot blacks at their whim. Republicans never bothered to mount any meaningful public counter to this false narrative, even after multiple investigations and extensive testimony showed that Brown was clearly in the wrong and the shooting was totally justified. Instead, this incident is widely credited with the founding of the divisive BLM movement.

The narrative is created first by the scumedia for the rat party.

The GOP is not on the side of We The People.
The GOP is on the side of the Democrats.
There is only the Uniparty and we’re not voting our way out of this.

Why don’t republicans talk about the most important and visible issues in front of the electorate at any given time?

Why don’t the Washington Generals ever beat the Harlem Globetrotters?

The only way the typical American conservative will ever be motivated enough to seize the narrative away from the liberal progressive pukes on any and all subjects will be when each one individually realizes and accepts that these little dictators are, and have ALWAYS been, at war with us personally. Until we collectively accept this blatantly obvious fact, make a decision to fight back and become willing to use the same tools and tactics that THEY use with no qualmswe,nothing will change. Keep in mind folks that the old adage “only YOU can prevent forest fire” doesn’t apply to only forest fires.
