The people who are susceptible to braindead Democrat propaganda are already firmly ensconced in the Democratic Party fold. They're watching Stephen Colbert every night and sharing Brian Tyler Cohen clips on Facebook and Bluesky. They'll happily vote for Democrats no matter who they run. They'd gladly vote for George Bush if he ran again as a Democrat.
But the people you're interested in targeting with this Democrat propaganda are not going to fall for the "look over there! pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" bit. They're more sophisticated than that. They know the Democrats are full of shyt, so you need to actually deliver on some good promises and shyt on Do-Nothing Dems in order to build the credibility for the propaganda to work. Trump shytting on Bush and the old guard Republicans was a critical element in building his political iconoclast image for the MAGA movement. If your propaganda can't offend the sensibility of Hillary Clinton then you're never going to get the demographics you're targeting.
1) I think you’re constructing a soft strawman here. I didn’t say anything about the diehard Dem voters, I’m more so referring to the normie non-engaged voter but susceptible to social media influence.
For example if some normie saw a mainstream news article saying the left finally has found their Joe Rogan! The article says it’s (Hasan Piker)
The normie goes on to internally think: interesting! I’ve never heard of him before! Let me see what his social media looks like!
The normie then goes on his twitter and see it littered with constant dem bashing. The normie will probably have a less favorable view of democrats after that.
You can say it’s probably justified and you could be correct but we don’t live in a
just reality. You want the democrats to play by rules when the Republicans play by none. That is a recipe for Democrats to continue have a lower approval rating than the Republicans despite Republicans actively working to make everybody's life worse who isn’t an oligarch.
The propaganda balance is completely out of wack. Supposed talking heads left of center can’t wait to shyt on democrats but those right of center never shyt on Republicans in the same way that would
hurt the broader Republican brand to the layman or normie who stumbles on their social media. They stay on code and they message accordingly. That’s why they’re winning the info war.
Do you think it’s a
coincidence that Theo Van and Piers Morgan start bashing Israel for committing a genocide shortly after Trump starts to distance himself?
It’s all planned and coordinated and leftist talking heads can’t wait to facilitate their sanewashing at the altar to appear professional, unbiased and not a shill. Until those left on center get on code collectively we‘ll continue to lose the propaganda war online and low info voters will continue to go to the right.
2) I never said online talking heads left of center should suck establishment dems like Hilary off, I’m saying they should
not actively look to pile onto Dem bashing in public squares because it does more harm than good. They should focus their negativity towards Republicans. The Republican brand should be far more toxic than the “do nothing dems” you’re adding to the problem.
