So…last week, Tom Perez who heads the DNC went off on a bit of a rant regarding not so much the message, but the messengers.
At best, Perez’s statements are myopic.
In a clearer sense, his statements are emblematic of the big picture problem with liberals that have been systemic for quite some time.
The “we’re just not doing enough to get our message out there” line of thinking by the liberal elite, like Tom Perez, is nothing but an excuse…an attempt to divert the blame for what’s really going on left of the center aisle.
We’ve been hearing the excuse at least as far back as the presidential election of 2000, and it has become the standard first line of excuse for liberals ever since. After conservatives took the house in 2010…”we’re just not doing enough to get our message out there” was the first thing the liberal elite said. After losing the senate too, a few years later…there it was again…”we’re just not doing enough to get our message out there.”
After Hillary’s loss in 2016…
”We’re just not doing enough to get our message out there.”
Now that liberals, believing they had a blue wave big enough to take both the House and the Senate in last month’s midterm elections, which was, in reality, a small blue ripple…that old, worn out line of thinking has resurfaced from the mouth of Tom Perez.
“[W]e all have to make sure we’re fluent in what’s happening across our ecosystem so that we can come to each other’s defense, because we need to build a bigger orchestra. They’ve had a big orchestra for some time, and they’ve got the megaphones to amplify it, whether it’s Sinclair at a local level, Fox at a national level.”
What Perez is saying…once again…is that liberals just aren’t getting their message out, but he took it a step further by stating…“I’ve learned this from the outreach we’ve done at the DNC. Why aren’t we penetrating, I asked. And I had someone in northwestern Wisconsin tell me, ‘you know what, for most of the people I know, their principal sources of information are Fox News, their NRA newsletter, and the pulpit on Sunday.’ And it should come as a surprise to no one that our message doesn’t penetrate. It should come as a surprise to no one that that person has elevated the issue, of course, to the top, because that person on the pulpit is saying ‘ignore everything else that this person has done and is doing. We have to focus on one issue of Roe vs. Wade.'”
Okay…let’s examine this I depth…
Perez, the head of the DNC is stating that the liberals…who control virtually every public school in this country…who control the overwhelming vast majority of colleges and universities in this country…who control the mainstream media from radio to television…who control virtually all of the entertainment industry, newspapers, magazines and social media 24/7/365…can’t get their message out because of…Fox News, the NRA newsletter…and preachers in the pulpit one day a week.
As absurd as that is, it is also what the DNC and the liberal elite actually believe…or at least want the garden variety liberal voter to believe.
Here’s the breaking news for liberals…
It is not the delivery system employed to put your message out there that’s your problem…it’s your message.
Open borders…the attempted crushing of American culture…overt and insane political correctness…socialism…jacked up taxes…jacked up spending on entitlements of which the vast majority is being allocated to those who are in this country illegally and not even citizens…the dumbing down of America…hatred of our military…the embracing of people and cultures hell-bent on our destruction…race baiting…a nanny state from cradle to grave…overbearing regulations…
You get the picture even if liberals don’t. They don’t want an exceptional nation, they want an entitlement nation. Liberals don’t want a sovereign nation, they want a submissive nation. They don’t want a land of opportunity achieved by hard work and self-reliance…they want a land of forced, government mandated equality that is only achievable if everyone is equally destitute and completely reliant on the government.
That is the message liberals are delivering from each and every megaphone they control, but more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that the message itself is a recipe for failure on a national, and international scale.
The problem for liberals isn’t that their “message doesn’t penetrate,” it’s that their message sucks…but they have an answer for that as well.
According to liberal Senator, Mazie Hirono from Hawaii, who stated with regard to reaching the voters, “We have a really hard time doing that … because we Democrats know so much. That is true, and we have to kind of tell everybody how smart we are and we have a tendency to be very left-brain.”
So…unless you continually remind voters of how smart you liberals are compared to how stupid you must believe the voters themselves to be…you won’t be able to reach them? Yes…that is exactly what Hirono is saying…and for the record regarding how smart liberals really are…Hirono herself is the one who admitted to being confused when she learned in a Senate hearing that illegal aliens are, in fact, breaking the law.
That is…according to liberals…an example of their true genius.
What we’re talking about here is the party of progressives which, 20 some odd years ago were confused by the definition of the word, “is” and have now progressed all the way to being confused over the notion that illegal activity is against the law…obviously…they’re just too smart for the rest of us….and the reason they have to find a way to constantly remind us of that, is because we would most likely never come to such a conclusion by listening to them.
If you go back to October of 2014, then DNC chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz said that, “Democrats need to do a better job of explaining its core values to voters.”
Again…the problem isn’t delivering the message, the problem is the message itself which centers on “core values” that are decidedly anti-American and therefore simply only appeal to their fringe voters.
Also, in October of 2014, liberal Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear said, “I am here to tell you the Democratic Party has lost its way. The problems are not with the party’s core beliefs, but our inability to convey our principles to the American people in a precise, concise and passionate way.”
Naturally, this leads to questions liberals don’t want asked, and they certainly don’t want to answer them.
So, during the Obama years, what were the liberal’s core values?
Punishing the rich, ridiculing success, booing God at their convention, entitlements over opportunity, championing common thugs, demonizing the rule of law and law enforcement personnel, manufacturing racial division, stifling freedom of expression.
And what did their core values lead to?
A shellacking in the 2010 midterm elections…a shellacking in the 2014 midterms…and their loss in the 2016 presidential election.
And what have liberal’s core values evolved into over the two years that President Trump has been in office?
Abject hatred of President Trump and half of the voters in America which are pretty pathetic core values to hold near and dear.
During the Obama years, our nation’s economy sank, and stagnated, Unemployment skyrocketed. GDP tanked. Consumer confidence tanked, and our standing on the world stage tanked. In 2016’s election cycle, liberals ran on something between more of the same, and doubling down on failure while Trump and Conservatives ran on making America great again.
Under President Trump, our nation’s economy is soaring, unemployment is at historic lows, GDP is at historic highs, consumer confidence is skyrocketing and our standing as a leader on the world stage is back…but…according to liberals and their elite, parroted by every message delivery system they control…is that Trump is a disaster.
Once again, it’s not that the message isn’t being adequately delivered…it’s that the message is wrong, and people know it. Of course, it doesn’t help when the liberal’s message contradicts itself. If Trump and his policies are such a disaster, as liberals claim them to be…why is it that Obama is running amok out there trying to take credit for Trump’s policy success?
Note to liberals…”you didn’t build that.”
Liberals…you want core values? Here are a few that resonate with people smarter than you or your ideology…
Leading from the front, America and Americans first, individualism, self-reliance, faith in something bigger than an election, standing for Constitutional rights, opportunity, exceptionalism, success, private sector over the public sector, allowing the people to keep more of what they earn, a strong defense, national security, less regulations, less government intrusion, the rule of law.
Liberals have spent decades convincing their base that they are victims, not of something, but of everything, and the only way for them to crawl from the rubble that liberals have created is to vote for more liberals while liberal voters are now starting to see the light at the end of their tunnel, not due to the policies mandated upon them by those they vote for, but due to the policies of those they’ve been brainwashed against.
The biggest roadblock for liberals is that their message is increasingly only appealing to the terminally gullible who have been led by the nose to believe that success can only be derived through being fundamentally transformed, while Conservatives know the true path to success is through being fundamentally informed.
As once locked in liberal voters start to become informed voters, little by little they begin to drift away from the liberal party. Part of it, in fact a big part of it is when such voters start to see a shift for the better in their personal lives…more money in their paychecks…more job opportunities…less regulations and lower taxes all play a role.
Perhaps the biggest game changer is when once staunch liberal voters start to realize that the promises made by a party they have voted for decades isn’t living up to those promises, and the doom and gloom messages of that party are false messages.
Take the Obamacare messages as an example…if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor…and your premiums will go down. Conservatives told everybody that such promises were false…locked in liberal voters believed the messages and voted accordingly…and then reality set in. The promises were lies, and Conservatives were right.
Here’s another great example…liberal voters were told by their party’s elite and every source of message delivery system at their disposal that a Trump victory in 2016 would cause economic catastrophe that would ruin people’s lives…then…the reality hit…Trump’s policies dramatically moved the national economy in the right direction and people suddenly were in a much better personal economic situation.
And trust me on this…when Tom Perez, the head of the DNC says that democrats just aren’t getting their message out there…he’s lying…and he’s hoping to once again fool liberal voters but he knows full well that the message is being delivered…in the same way that a manure spreader delivers fertilizer…it’s just that people are beginning to recognize the message for exactly what it is.
A Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose…but manure by any other name, is the liberal message.
