1/8 My (long) mini manifesto:

Govt duopoly stranglehold must end

TERM LIMITS!! No lifetime politicians

Legalize sex work & tax it

Legalize recreational drugs & tax it

Make voting rank choice

No out-of-state💰in local voting

End lobbying—American people’s needs 1st

I agree. What she’s doing is straight up predatory.

My dad had Lewy Bodies (the same thing as Robin Williams) which is a horrific disease & it will kill you.

I’ve never been a fan of Biden but no person should have to be forced, by their own spouse, to go be out in public. She’s a disloyal, hideous bitch & should be shunned.

.@60Minutes, he can’t call his wife. I can never call Katie again, hug her, hear her voice, or see her smile. She was 20. BECAUSE SHE'S IN A GRAVE.

I understand that traveling to mismanaged, dangerous Sanctuary Illinois may be scarier than traveling to Ghana. But when you finally summon the courage to hear from innocent victims here at home, I’m here. Anytime you say.

Thune is a disgrace. He should have been booted long ago. Now Republicans are bending over for Leftists. It’s pathetic AF.

None of them have the freakin’ balls to say NO. All the politicians are protecting themselves and their ginormous amounts of cash.

None of them give a shit about us, The People, their fucking employers! I’m fed up with it, and I am just done with their bullshit!

Sorry for cussing.

We already know your goal is another impeachment. Your true goals are that & that alone.

You straight up LIED about your intentions & a lot of us saw right through it.

Maybe it’s just me but I HATE it when a bunch of elite, super rich actors rip people apart, people they have literally never interacted with or gotten to know, & just ruin ALL their movies cuz of it.

They are out of touch with the audience.

I was flipping through movies & *almost* chose to watch a Tom Hanks flick, then I obviously remembered the bullying, name-calling, etc & moved on to something else.

Hollywood is collapsing & it’s their own damn fault. What a waste.

If you’re right wing and you can’t admit liberals (not communists) are way better at art and design and boutique coffee shops and restaurants, you’re not living in reality.

If you’re left wing and you can’t admit conservatives are way better at running cities and businesses and police departments, you’re not living in reality.

You step inside a beautiful coffee shop in the PNW and think “man, these liberals are great at this stuff…conservatives should take notes.” Then the moment you step outside and trip over a homeless drug zombie shooting up fentanyl on the sidewalk, you think “man these liberals are terrible at this stuff…they should really take notes from conservatives”

Communists make disgusting anti-beauty art, but classical liberals aren’t like that. Put the libs in charge of the coffee shops, put the conservatives in charge of city hall. This is how you get a city that is beautiful, clean, and functional.

If you can’t accept that, you need to check your tribalism. We are never getting rid of each other, so figure out how we strike a balance or else the communists swoop in and take everything from us while we quarrel over stupid bullshit…which is exactly what’s happening now.

@guypbenson They’re hideous. Seems to me that Leftists are supreme hypocrites at this point. They are HAPPY to see people they don’t like be murdered.

They’re all sick AF.

I’m Libertarian and it blows my mind how many people now celebrate & embrace violence.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Gov. Gavin Newsom just moved to commute California's ENTIRE death row, all 548 death sentences are being shifted to LIFE without parole

That covers some of the most heinous killers in state history ‼️

Newsom says it's all about "California values"

The State Supreme Court will need to review his decision.

This is absolutely INSANE. Capital punishment is a deterrent for criminals and we should be leaning IN to it for the worst crimes, not backing away!

@spencerpratt Everything you days is true and so is this

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.

If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.

It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does. Will these newly-elected commies lower prices? Of course not. Are they gonna get you free healthcare? No, your insurance is gonna get even worse, just like it did the last time they tried socialized medicine. They're not going to do anything they've sold you, but...like Saul Goodman said: if you're committed enough, you can make any story work.

The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly.

It is 100% true that everything's too damn expensive, and we all know that inflated prices are always sticky. Does anyone know that it's entirely the result of shutting down the global economy over the flu and (both naive republicans and democrats) printing infinity dollars for several years? Nope...because nobody has effectively told that story, and it's an unsexy story to tell. "Free stuff!" is a VERY easy story to tell, and when everyone's gotta take out a second mortgage just to pay their insurance premiums, "free healthcare" is an unbeatable story. It doesn't matter that "free healthcare" doesn't exist and socialized medicine is a terrible product...it's not the product, it's the brand. And "FREE!" is a great brand.

You can't get mad at people for having the financial literacy of a 9 year old. I mean, you can, but they outnumber you a million to one, so it's not going to be productive. You need to figure out how to make an unsexy story sexy, or else the "free stuff!" crowd is going to eat your lunch every time. If you give people a choice between earning a six pack on a treadmill or taking Ozempic, they're gonna choose Ozempic...they don't care about the side effects. If you give people a choice between fiscal discipline or free stuff...guess what they'll pick? They don't care about the side effects.

With projected growth of 5%, the economy right now is stronger than it's been in generations. Is that the story you hear? Nope. Is that the vibe you feel? Absolutely not, especially when every time you fill up your gas tank, it feels like a diesel enema.

It's not the product, it's the brand. A great product can fall into oblivion with bad messaging...a single bad review from one effective storyteller can tank a restaurant. The "influencer economy" is lucrative for a reason; everybody inherently understands the importance of effective storytelling...except the right. Zohran Mamdani gets it...he has an army of influencers on staff. In a perfect metaphor of this transitional phase of old guard vs new wave political messaging, Zohran nuked the Vice President into oblivion with maybe the biggest ratio in the history of the internet. By simply posting the subway assistant meme, Mamdani got 2 MILLION likes, quoting a post from the VP that had only 10K likes. If you're reading that sentence thinking "this is fucking ridiculous, you're talking about social media likes as political analysis now?"...you are the problem.

Yes, this stuff matters. Rizz matters. The President did a masterful job of this kind of retail politics in his historic 2024 campaign...you can be angry that this is what politics has been reduced to, but you can either adapt or die.

"No the problem is, you didn't deliver enough for the American people!" Are you a moron? Since when does anybody care about that? What have democrats delivered for Californians in the last 20 years? Unmitigated wildfires, homeless drug zombies everywhere, roads that look like Fallujah in 2004...people don't care about results. They think they care about results. That want you to believe they care about results, just as Nike wants you to believe their shoes are better than New Balance...but at the end of the day, all people really care about is the swoosh.

Adapt or die.
