Dem Favorability

Published by

Yes, it’s a mystery why men in girls’ changing rooms and women’s jails aren’t wildly popular. And why calling everyone a racist isn’t driving favorability ratings. And why eliminating borders isn’t hugely attractive.

All Democrats do is name-calling and guilt-tripping. That it’s not attracting crowds of supporters isn’t as shocking as we are told to believe.

Those 29% who are still supportive are probably in a drug-induced stupor or completely disengaged. Give them some time to catch on, and Dem favorability will drop to single digits.

P.S. Just saw this:

Strange that this kind of thing isn’t attracting large majorities. Just incomprehensible.

      and of course, the “resistance” reaction to it: doing everything in your power to protect the “rights” of illegal foreign criminals in the US, while simultaneously fighting against the rights of US citizens in the US, is popular with the political-donor class. Not anybody else. Seems like another case of believing their own bubble-world propaganda and drastically overestimating support among normal people.

        I heard the resistance is now into drawing swastikas on Teslas. The same people who cancelled a truck driver for “a racist hand gesture” he wasn’t aware of making now run around drawing swastikas. I’m sure this somehow makes sense to them but to nobody else. Kind of hard to call everybody a Nazi while painting swastikas all over the place.

          These people used to be, you know, art and design students capable of coming up with neat, clever, professional-looking subversive ad campaigns and stuff– there was a whole magazine and it was really fun to look at, circa AD2000. Adwars? What was the name of it? I can’t quite remember. Ad-something.

          Did all those guys become conservative in the general shift? I feel like the left has been experiencing an abandonment by creative talent.

            They sacrificed their creativity on the altar of groupthink and fear of ideological crimes. They’ve embraced intellectual and creative poverty. It’s the same that happened in the USSR. There was a creative explosion in the 1920s, and then it all fizzled into grey, identical, boring social realist works. If all you can say is a list of 5 officially approved slogans, it gets very boring very fast.

              Do you think it’s the same people, though? Or did they chase off all their real creatives, and now they only attract braindead conformists?

            They were called “Adbusters”.

          You’ve got to move with the times. These days in SA you can consider Hitler progressive.

      I watched that video 5 times. I’ve taught about El Salvador for years, and this is such a joy to see. I always knew they could do better and now they have. Good job for Trump not turning back the planes, too. I feel a lot more positive about his presidency now.

        Dunno if we’ll ultimately get the mass deportations, but rounding up the criminals and ending the NGOs and subsidies that support illegals… may be enough, in the end.

          When it’s good, it’s good. And this is really good. Now it’s important to ensure that the insanity of the past few years doesn’t get repeated in the future.

          No, that is not enough. Neither your government nor my own can afford the direct fiancial costs of maintaining the social services – schooling, hospitals, housing, and welfare benefits. Nor can we continue the horrific undermining of the economic wellbeing of our working class citizens through low cut priced illegal aliens. Enough false compassion.

            The real question is: will we have to actively evict all of them? Or will a substantial portion of them pack their bags and take themselves home, provided we *enforce existing laws* regarding illegals: eg employing them is a crime, providing them housing is a crime, helping them stay in the country and avoid detection is a crime (what the NGOs are doing), and arresting people who knowingly do so would put a damper on that very quickly. No employment, and no subsidies… how many would stay? Throw in a free trip home if they turn themselves in within three months?

            I’m not saying we don’t need mass deportations, just… take away all the major incentives and supports and maybe we’d reduce the number who have to be tracked down and forcibly removed.

    Also, that second video: who the eff is still wearing masks now? Are they mentally ill, or is that an identity-protecting strategy these days?
