Considering running for something in 2024. But I am not wealthy, and if I become a target, I'm sort of finished.
Corruption runs deep. And it goes high... way above my head. I don't know why my town is so special, but it is a bastion for the globalists, apparently. Honestly, you may be as surprised as I was to learn just how far down the globalist agenda has reached.
Anyway, any thoughts about strategies to stay safe, to acheive goals, etc? Anyone do this and want to share?
Thanks
Edit: prayer and asking God to guide my discernment is first and foremost. He gave me the idea to ask all of you.
If I were to run here's what I would do. I would acknowledge that most voters are not politically savvy. They vote for familiar names. So put your name out there as much as possible. You will get a lot of hate but you will get a lot of love. Be like Trump. He knows a lot of people hate him but he puts his name on everything. And it works.
Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, 4Chan, Instagram, Tik Tok ... if you haven't started yet you might already be too late.
Understand that we live in a great time when the country is divided nearly half and half. This is great because you already know that no matter what your stance is on any issue 50% of the people will hate you. And that's awesome. You know you don't have to waver to appeal to those people. (This is something Hillary was bad at - she tried too hard to appeal to everybody so she pissed off her hardcore supporters by saying things to attract people from the other side of the aisle. She might have gained a few supporters from the other side but they didn't balance out the supporters she lost from her own side.) Know who you are. Know what you represent and stand firm with those ideals.
Watch videos of powerful people from the past giving powerful speeches. Don't copy them outright but learn some of their gimmicks.
If I was running I would pose it like this: "Is it really possible for an average Joe to run for a political office and win? Join me as I go from start to finish . From the minute I announce my campaign until election day. You will see me being interviewed by all possible funders and supporters. I'll put together a team who will interview people on my campaign trail. Because I understand that elected officials are public servants who are elected by the people, for the people, to do the will of the people. I have ideas of my own and I will share these ideas with you but public service isn't about talking - it's about listening. I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. What do YOU want ME to do? Talk to me! Let me know!"
I appreciate all of your insights and taking the time to share them. Very helpful.
