It’s hard to compete when:
a) You generally try to play by the rules, and:
b) You’re using “Factoring in estimated hysteresis, the planet’s average temperature is poised to rise by 3*C over the next ten years” against their:
- They’re turning this country socialist, like Venezuela
- They’re giving this country over to illegals and brown people
- They’re going to ban your guns and your religion
- They’re teaching your children to be ashamed of their race, their heterosexuality, and their ethnicity
- They’re forcing The Ghay Agenda on your kids
- They’re turning your cities into war-torn cesspools
- Your children are utterly not safe in Librul 'Murica
- You won’t be able to buy a 17 ounce fountain drink
- We’ll all be forced to eat nothing but kale. An In-n-Out Double Double will be a Felony
- They’re using Agenda 21 to force us all to live in cramped barracks and drive Smart cars
- Bill Gates is going to inject a chip into your @$$. Big Brother will own you
- You’ll pay 105% of your income in taxes
- You’ll have to marry interracial, have LGBTQ kids, and get an abortion. You’ll just have to
- They want us to bend over for Putin and Xi
- We’ll all be buying Teslas for non-English speaking Welfare recipients
- FOR THE LOVE OF GRID … BENGHAZI !!!
And I really could go on and on.
They’re evil, but they’re generally not stupid.
If Democrats need to reach people who are vulnerable to this kind of marketing effort, I really don’t know how they could. Whatever other qualities that cohort has, it will be hard to bypass these lizard-brain, existential issues to talk intelligently to them about the reality of “their economic interests.”
