This move by Trump was thanks to his son, Barron.
Interesting the old folks thought 'movie stars' - people under 30 have no idea who most movie actors even are - or free concerts would do the trick.
The podcasts got over 100 million views and were big with younger voters - normally a demographic that (young and clueless) votes Democrat.
He won because he spoke to people. She hid.
Kamala was part of a tightly controlled pre-scripted campaign and it backfired.
Podcasts — sit down and talk for 3 hours, as Trump did with Rogan - requires someone who can get past soundbites and talking points and be mentally nimble enough to engage in an actual conversation.
Kamala couldn’t even handle questions from a lightweight Dem fan like Anderson Cooper, so her people kept her from going anywhere near a real conversation.
It was a bizarre campaign run in an ‘old media’ style. They ran pro-Israel ads in one state and anti-Israel ads in another. Even CNN called them out.
Musk controlling X was key though. That alone allowed the sharing of information easily and Dems controlled it back in 2020 along with Facebook, google, every major network and publication.
Podcasting is good for our side as we have logic, reason, informed candidates, and can make a clear case for our side.
Leftists rely on disinformation, misinformation, lies, slogans, name calling, and can’t engage in an actual debate. Watch Shapiro videos on college compasses where he shoots down dozens of libs. They can’t debate.
The softening of the American mind - Ivy Leaguers given crayons and safe spaces - means you can’t question their ideology or secular religion. Therefore, they’ve never engaged in a real debate and can’t handle it.
Trump’s Rogan appearance was a bit rambling but it showed he was a real person and not the ‘fascist’ looney leftists were trying to label him as - in a coordinated effort btw - and that helped. Vance did an excellent job.
Kamala was a terrible candidate. She ran as ‘change’ and new chapter but... she’d been in office for four years. It was a self-contradicting message and she couldn’t navigate it. She had no real plans and couldn’t engage in simple Q&As.
One example was that she had a town hall and it began with the audience being told that she wouldn’t be taking questions. !!! Pre-scripted, tele-prompter.
Biden’s team hid - for the most part - behind Covid and his fake campaign was able to push their man in office (15 million missing votes). Kamala didn’t really have that machine behind her and the independent voters and squishy middle American flip flop voters were seeing inflation, gangs, crime, insanity, and had just had enough.
p
She presented no plans other than unlimited abortions. Making the rich pay more and the middle class less without specifics. Saying you are lowing the price of groceries is not a plan.
I think after the Covid crap more people distrused government, or any one connected to it...And, demcommies ARE government.
She said she’d lower prices and would change things but she’s the VP. She’s part of the current problem.
Kamala has zero skills at retail politics. She couldn't speak to people because she didn't know how. She had no choice but to either hide or share her rally stage with A-list entertainers (for all the good that did).
She had no business being at the top of a presidential ticket. She's a DEI hire who's failed upward her entire career, having everything handed to her on a platter until it got to the point that her cluelessness was simply impossible to hide.
Everything about Kamala Harris was fake AF.
Democrats would've had a better chance had they ran good ole' Alvin Greene.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck it fruitcakes! Reel! Reel! Reel! HAHAHAHA Seek help, you mentally ill drama queens!
150 years ago, people would stand for 3 or more hours in any weather to hear politicians debate one another. Newspapers were big and thick and chock full of articles of incredible detail and depth.
75 years ago, society shifted to radio and then TV news where some “trusted” figure provided a summary of the days events. Half-hour at night and five minutes at the top of the hour on your favorite radio station.
Eventually there was Twitter, which initially had a limit of 140 characters.
Independent media podcasts are a return to the in-depth information format again.
Exactly.
Not because of *influencers*.
Good analysis!
Bunch’s navel gazers.
This is a global phenomenon. 10 top nations had regime change
>> normally a demographic that (young and clueless) votes Democrat
Young, but apparently not as clueless as in past cycles.
According to exit polls, one of the noted phenomena is the shift towards the right in young people. Excellent!
>> Independent media podcasts are a return to the in-depth information format again.
VERY interesting. I never looked at it that way ‘til now. Thanks for the historical insight!
That five minute newscast on the radio includes a minute and a half of commercials, so all you really get is three and a half minutes of quickie news.
>> He won because he spoke to people. She hid.
Yeah, but at least part of it is President Trump’s correct perception as to HOW to speak to people. Rogan, McDonald’s, Garbage Truck, etc. Not “Meet The Press” or rigged debates.
It occurs to me that his choice of VP is another prescient communications move.
It's amazing how much of a paper tiger the abortion issue turned out to be.
Influencers got his message out.
A lot of young people only heard Trump speak when someone they follow on social media posted clips of him speaking.
He didn't win because of new media. He and his team understood the shift and went where the people are. Again, that is only one part of the reason for his victory. The socialists could have done the same thing and would have still lost. Even now they do not understand that the game has changed, and it isn't about new or old media.
