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.
The old Republican Party is dead - It just hasn't stopped moving yet.
There is a similar confusion about Russia and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is dead. Russia killed it back in the nineties. The modern Russian Federation has Soviet Union history, but it has rejected communism because it doesn't work. They learned that from hard experience. The Gulag Archipelago is now required reading in high schools in Russia. They added reference to God in their Constitution in 2020.
Well said!
