This is an article written before the election on why we lost the White House. I wrote a similar article regarding the "Red Wave" that never came and why it did not come to fruition. We didn’t learn from the past and we repeated the mistakes of the last two election cycles. We will lose the House, White House and win the Senate.
There were red flags of problems but we ignored them all. We spoke of winning before we even won and we practiced a great amount of hubris. We kept looking to 2016 and not adjusting for a different kind of race. The new elections use AI for targeting and new kinds of messaging for different platforms.
Democrats did not show their hand and led us to believe we were ahead, when in fact we were behind in targeting. The Democrats did a lot of polling and took the words why voters like Trump - then Kamala used those words, like freedom, defending your rights, protecting the second amendment, etc. Harris used the words like "opportunity" but she has little commitment to keeping her word.
Repeatedly, we lost pro-life ballot initiatives even in heavy Republican areas. And as mentioned before in my other article regarding TikTok and the Democrat Party works hand-in-glove. TikTok uses very advanced algorithms to target young impressionable women, pushing the emotion and guilt button again and again.
It was not just here in America that TikTok (the CCP) interfered with elections. The CCP via TikTok repeated their propaganda around the world, changing fair elections into rigged elections. Turning pursuable youth into supporters of the CCP, electing officials who support the CCP. Whoever in the United States extended the sale of TikTok until after the election must have ties to the CCP.
I advocated and did not get support for talking about all the wars Kamala and company have gotten us into.
The world is on fire and the myopic vision of abortion all the time is missing a greater threat to the younger generation. Wars and the draft are two items that motivate young people and can override the abortion debate. We lose the debate when we ignore and not counter message the abortion debate.
The Democrats never let their foot off the gas in preaching to young single women. TikTok had nine to one ads against Trump. They pushed the false narrative that abortion was all but banned. When in fact, more abortions are occurring now than before the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court.
It's an old campaign fact: when you are tied in the polls (or in a runoff) it's no longer a messaging of persuasion but a turnout effort. Those Trump rallies should have signed people up to get people to block walk, calling and driving them to the polls.
It's called drop and drag. The Harris - Obama team had over a billion dollars and a million people getting the vote out. In Pennsylvania they knocked on over a million doors in one weekend.
Ironically, in some cases people from California knocked on doors. In other words, turning our nation into a mess just like California. You can save this election but it must be people who will knock on doors and get them to the polls.
Get the Republican list and subtract those who voted and push all day until the polls close.
Please vote and prove me wrong…. I want to be wrong - in the worst way.
