American Politics Is Not a Spectator Sport
January 24, 2023
If politics were a sport and political parties were sports teams where you and your fellow players must work together to reach a common goal of winning, there would be various plays that would have to be executed to achieve that objective. In my opinion, the most important “play” in politics is activism. More people will be activists than politicians. This is clear. So, why not make your ground game as effective as possible with purposeful activism?
Analyzing the success of each party in utilizing activism, the Left gets a 10 out of 10 for their outstanding deployment of the play. They easily pivot and apply the “next best thing” with ease and sheer determination. They have moved through the channels of social media, Hollywood, the music industry, fashion, and so on so handily that it almost seems second nature to them.
Meanwhile, the Right still doesn’t understand the importance of social media in our current climate. Hell, some on the Right still don’t understand email or the internet. If this were a race, the Right would be barely getting out of the blocks. Needless to say, this is not conducive to victory.
