Our expectations were way too high so it's harder to see how big it was. But let's walk down the logical brick road tonight.
Did you know Trump's speech was aired almost in its entirety on CNN, CSPAN and Fox News? Who watches those networks? Not us. We don't trust the MSM.
So Trump has new eyeballs on him. What was he supposed to do? Come out in loud, aggressive fashion in front of D's who were already brainwashed to believe Trump was a madman?
Instead he comes out calm, collected, thoughtful, nonthreatening in ANY way. This is a marketing tactic called "pattern interruption." People expect to see you perform one way so they already have preset rebuttals for what they THINK you're going to do.
But you come out a completely DIFFERENT way and confuse them...they didn't "game plan" for that. So instead of Trump looking like a raging maniac that the MSM pushed to their sheep, Trump looks shockingly sane.
And guess what? He spoke for a whole hour and hasn't stuttered and stumbled once. No slurred speech. No forgotten thoughts or sentences that started in one way and ended up no where.
This is important...because the people who watch the MSM are used to seeing 2 years of dementia. Now they circle back to Trump for the first time in probably 2 years and hear his voice very differently.
Since CNN was watching, no mention of election fraud. Did Trump sell out? No. He has to keep the cameras rolling. He mentions stolen elections, and the cameras go off, the new people don't hear the rest of Trumps words.
And what's Trump saying? He's saying the SAME THING he said and warned them about on the campaign trail. Back then they thought he was lying...now they know he was always telling the truth.
He just won a larger audience of voters now. But this is only the beginning...
I agree. It looks like Trump is starting a "redeemed hero" narrative for the normies. There was a lot in his speech about unity. He said that they (normies) haven't seen how bad of a spot we're in yet, but they soon will. He also said that elections will be different by the time we get to 2024. He also said some ominous things about the "invasion" which leads me to think "land invasion" (which would explain why Arizona is so important to keep under DS control especially since it looks like Abbott is now shoring up border defense in Texas). Plus we're now seeing moves toward CBDC. Personally, I think the precipice is coming and it will be a uniting period of time. And a new redeemed Trump will be soaking up a lot of unlikely new supporters.
Another thought: while Trump reaches out to new supporters on the Left his tone will have to change and the DS is going to use that to try to throw off his base (as we have already seen). Personally, I won't be falling for that.
