His theory is that if we just explain why our policies are better for the voter (because the benefits are not self-evident) they will vote for us.
He's giving them too much credit.
This election has reinforced for me that: The Right hopes that th voters are smart. The Left knows that the voters are stupid.
And frankly what conservative would even want the job ruling over a bunch of stupid people in the first place?
The voters are stupid. The Dems play politics 24/7. Republicans only every election cycle. That puts us at a distinct disadvantage. To convince some poor/minorities to come out way is a very difficult challenge. How do you fight free food? The answer - school vouchers and medical IRAS for the poor. We talk about these things but we never do it. It would not cost more money because we are just shifting existing resources directly into people’s hands rather than through government agencies. Half the poor are too damn lazy to want that control. They prefer to be slaves. But the other half we got a shot at. The goal is to implement these things in just one state and make them work. Other states will follow. The Dems will fight these initiatives because they are not about helping poor people but controlling them.
