To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

This isn’t rocket science to appeal to the youth either, all one has to do is point out all the times the progressives (in both parties) want to run your life.

The most successful Republicans have ALWAYS sold freedom not freebies!

Look at what made Reagan so successful amongst the younger voters, that was selling the time tested idea of freedom!

Reagan had a set of one liners and examples he used to hammer this point home, none of the wishy washey hippie sounding “1000 points of light” of crap that HW sold, but “True-isms” that made a definite contrast between him and his opponent.

Like his: “The Scariest words in the human language: I’m from the government and I am here to help...”

It resonated because PEOPLE KNOW IT IS TRUE! Anyone who has had to deal with government on ANY level know this to be true!

This is one of the big things that I love about people like Ted Cruz. He doesn’t go into the whole speil about how lowering this marginal tax rate on borrowing derivitaves will increase domestic job growth per GDP..... He goes straight for the ROOT of the matter and the base philosophy of the government.

And this scares the elite!

When POTUS #40 RWR left the Presidency in 1988, the U.S. population was ~ 80% white. Today it is ~61% white. Demographics favor the DemonRats. I haven't given up, but it is discouraging.
