Another Note On Elections

Winning elections is a necessary but not sufficient task to keep America from descending into an elitist-run socialist hellhole. Elections are just one campaign (pun intended) in the big war. The Great U.S. Culture War is our third civil war (ACW 1 1775-1783, ACW 2 1861-1865, ACW 3 1962-Present). Yet, obviously, elections are vital. So, what do the mid-term elections indicate?

First, a flash of the obvious. America is deeply divided. The Red and Blue division by political party is the public branding of the chasm between American Traditionalists – call them Conservatives – and Human Secularist Totalitarians – call them Liberals, Progressives, Greens, Commies.

Formerly, common wisdom stated that every election is about the candidate, issues, and campaign. None have to be perfect, but all need to be just a little bit better than the opponent to win. That doesn’t apply to one side any more. The Democrats in Pennsylvania elected severely compromised Fetterman to the U.S. Senate and a dead guy to their legislature.

On the other hand, Republicans in Georgia elected all their statewide candidates except Walker. Some say, Walker was defeated by money spent 3:1 against him. Maybe. Yet, candidates on both sides won despite being outspent.

Money matters to message the middle 10 to 20 per cent of voters who go either way. Also, it’s important to pump up turn out for your side’s 40% and dampen the enthusiasm for the opposing 40% who’ll never vote your way.

Technology matters in spending money wisely. Since 2017, the Democrats in Virginia have had the means to micro-identify and contact their issue-voters by email, text, voice message, and on social networking platforms. It swung the off-year legislative races in 2017 and 2019 to win a majority in Virginia General Assembly. Republicans in Virginia are way behind in putting highly focused, friendly-working technology in the hands of campaigns.

Electioneering – playing partisan games with elections – may have the stench of cheating, but it’s only game in town. It must be played well.

Specifically, Republicans have to harvest votes in states that mail out ballots, have easy absentee applications, and long election seasons. California Republicans learned the hard way how to do this to win Congressional seats. Banking the winning margin of votes before election day is essential in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia to win nation-wide in 2024.

I put together a slide in 2016 showing how $3.25m could produce 250k votes in Virginia – paying workers $10 @ hour. The labor costs would be different next year when all the seats in the Virginia General Assembly are up for grabs, but the results should be the same. Votes put in the bank. Done and done.

Where they can, legislatures and governors must end ranked preferential voting schemes, mail out ballots, clean up voter rolls, require identification, etc. Where they can’t, then beat the Commies at their own game.

Republicans have a transformational majority, bigger than FDR’s 60 year coalition, with the huge majority of Americans who earn wages, own small businesses, or are independent professionals.

The Commies have the ruling elites and the dependent class on the government plantation. Geographically, outside of the deep Blue culturally-Commie enclaves of New England and the Coastal Pacific, America is rural Red and urban Blue.

Changing the hearts and minds of the Black voter margin of victory in urban areas is like missionary work. It won’t happen big or soon. But, it’s worth substantial effort.

On the other hand, marketing to our foreign-born citizens is a very doable do – if the money is there. Marketing ideas isn’t the abject tokenism of “outreach” which never works. Again, good marketing takes money. One in ten Virginia voters wasn’t born in America.

Republicans in the House of Representatives can do much to expose the collaboration among Big Tech, the Commies, and the Deep State. They may not eradicate collusion by 2024, but they may influence enough folks in the middle who are clueless consumers of Leftist media.

Also, elected Republicans, who are Populists, have to hold the Establishment Republicans accountable. Don’t let them cut deals with the Devil. Don’t spend us into oblivion. Represent the emerging, governing majority who want practical, commonsense solutions to every challenge – domestic and foreign.

The big prize – POTUS and both Houses in Congress is winnable in 2024. But, only if the essential work gets done in the swing states and districts to earn the win
