Just had a text debate with my friend from China. He is a super Anti-Trump guy.
Here is what I learned from the discussion.
I think Trumpism/MAGA has caused a wave of branding confusion with normies.
When I was texting back and forth with my friend. He is assuming that Trumpism = Giving the Mitch M types more power.
When I thought about this more. My mom thought the same thing.
When I told him that Trumpism is a form of "Libertarianism" that means localized government. Using the word Libertarianism is something he could understand.
I am not saying that MAGA is completely Libertarianism. I used something he could understand.
When I explained to him that MAGA fans want to get rid of the CDC, FDA, etc. He said this is interesting and I never thought about local politics before.
I think the problem we are facing with some normies. The whole country is use to federal elections as the super bowl of elections.
When I tell them to think more local power.
A lot of anti-Trump people tend to think about MAGA in a different way.
I think we need to add the words of
"Local Government" or "Decentralized Government" to the MAGA name.
This could help communicate our message better.
There is tons of confusion running under the Republican brand.
The old republican party is dead. A lot of normies don't know that because the see the R.
I agree with you I have written about this a lot. How they coin our coming elections as midterm. It's not the big kahuna.
People forget every branch is equal and Congress is in up every cycle and they are the lawmakers, inappropriate money into policy. Senators have more time. For 17 years turnouts in neighboring counties for me during midterms range from 8% to 13% and then a whopping 33 in the party bastion area. It's a terribly low turnout.
I really great thing Trump has done has made these elections not only exciting but he worked hard to foster candidates that we know he needs to work with if he runs for president again. He's making the turnout incredibly high, higher than I know it's been in 20 years. That's not the Democratic party doing that.
Georgia already has an incredible surge in early voting that they've ever seen in the midterms.
Civics has been absent in american education and life. This is one of the greatest things Trump has done. He has taught the American electorate. Groups working have always been small compared to the platform Trump has to talk about the issues we have been talking about for 20 years. Electronic election fraud and human trafficking. Trump has taken over party operations. We have all MAGA candidates to vote for that he can work with.
I'll always be so grateful for President Trump.
