There is a lot of talk by Democrats about what could have been in their messaging that could have caused them to win during this last election cycle. And with Hunter Biden getting his pardon, one that everyone saw coming, there is a belief that he, or some other Democrat, could run a podcast to compete with Joe Rogan and that if only they had someone as popular on the left, they could sell their message. Well, here’s the deal: Democrats lost because they made themselves the “Freakshow Party,” the political party of broken toys from Misfit Island, and their messaging was terrible. When Biden was given power by a rigged election provoked by a manufactured Covid virus released from a lab in China to cause a coup in the United States, the first thing he did was put a gay guy like Major Pete on his cabinet and Ralph Levine for Assistant Secretary for Health and Head of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps as well as Health and Human Services, as a crossdresser right out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Biden’s people were caught having gay sex and filming it in public buildings, and they fully expected to shut down anybody’s negative opinions on the matter, forcing many to count down the days until these losers were voted out of office. And a lot of people couldn’t wait to vote against the Biden administration because of the Freakshow they put on and expected everyone to accept. No amount of any podcast could justify the audaciousness of how Democrats positioned themselves for the 2024 election. They can’t sell something to people that they don’t want to buy, and that is apparently new news to them. But they should have listened because I have been telling them that for a long time.
As to Joe Rogan, they had him. I’ve said about Joe Rogan that he was too liberal for me. He voted for Biden and Obama and has only now been a Trump supporter. The same with Elon Musk and many other Democrats who converted to the Republican Party in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump in July of 2024. I didn’t listen to the Joe Rogan podcast because he was a devoted Democrat, and I don’t have time in my life for people like that. I only paid attention to him because he was moving toward Trump in the closing days of the 2024 election. After all, the Democrats were so embarrassing. So, if the Republican Party was going to go into a big tent party, I was happy to hold open the flap to that tent to fill it with as many people as possible. But this notion that if only Democrats had their version of Joe Rogan is ridiculous. Because they had him. As well as owning most of the media culture that there is. People turned away from Democrats because they became the party of the Freakshow; they abused their relationship with everyday people to such an extent that they pushed people away. And that is something they didn’t think would happen. When people like AOC in Congress seem normal and rational, the Democrats have a big problem, and people are going to turn away from them just by association. Democrats thought they could abuse their relationship with people, just as most corporations these days also believe because they feel like communists who can live in a bubble without competitive ideas to challenge them and come to the conclusions within their little world that they are all there is.
They should have seen the writing on the wall when they mistreated their people, like Musk and Joe Rogan, for being critical of the Democrat party when they should have been listening. With Rogan, the political left tried to cancel culture him for doing a podcast where anti-vaxers were on to talk about COVID-19, and the left tried to damage Rogan’s deal with Spotify. I can tell everyone here that I went through all kinds of problems, especially with Spotify and YouTube, so I can understand Rogan’s situation because he had real money at stake in the protests. But it was essentially an anti-free speech message that Democrats had, their modern version of the Berlin Wall. Communists cannot afford competition with capitalist markets, and ultimately, when you have the wealthiest guy in the world on your side, but you are attacking the kind of world that made him rich in the first place, you are setting yourself up for a significant loss. Elon Musk pays more taxes than any person on planet Earth, and Democrats just kept asking for more. It’s like a husband who continues to keep cheating on his wife, and she stays with him for as long as she can take it, then decides one day, no more. And she finally leaves. And she should go if he’s not respecting her. That’s what the Democrats did to their people, like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and many others. There were a lot of Democrats, especially union members, who voted for Trump in this last election because the message was better from Republicans. Democrats took it for granted that their platform was so powerful that they could shame people into voting for a Freakshow, a bunch of sexual deviants, and crack addicts with an addiction to all kinds of problems. And presenting those kinds of people to the world was a winning strategy.
Ultimately, this problem is one I have been pointing out for a long time. I write on this site because I know who reads it and why. I do not write here for the ordinary, everyday person but for the influencers on the frontier of independent journalism, which is where all the action will be in the future. Traditional media is dying. Modern media platforms like Truth Social, Gettr, and Elon Musk’s “X” are the future, and the kind of competitive content out there will destroy a weak message. So, I see my efforts as being very important to that process and an investment on my part to a better world. For all those who aren’t sure what they can or can’t talk about, I provide a new way of thinking about it in a media culture increasingly driven by artificial intelligence. And the Democrats showed a complete lack of respect for other people’s opinions over these last eight years, essentially since Trump entered office the first time. In their desperation, they ran wildly in the other direction toward “freakshow” politics, such as the bearded lady at a carnival or the man with two heads. And they scared off any fringy supporters they did have who were straddling the fine line between left-of-center politics and the right. So they lost support because of their strategy, and giving Hunter Biden his own podcast would only accelerate their problems. And that’s the thing: it is a free world; Hunter Biden could start his podcast tomorrow, just as anybody could. But would anybody listen or pay attention? I do it because people do pay attention and listen. And I see the impact. But who wants to listen to Hunter Biden? Who cares about one thing that he says or does? And how could a person like that move a political party toward success? The answer is that they can’t, and that’s why Democrats lost. They embraced the wrong strategy, which probably cost them their party. As I always say, Democrats can’t win if they don’t cheat. And that was certainly the case in 2024. Where it was too big to rig, Democrats couldn’t win because they couldn’t cheat. And they had no other strategy for winning because their messaging never respected voter opinions. Only the guilt they could generate from their freakshow politics, which would always fail.
