Many 2024 Trump voters either don't remember what Trump's presidency was like, are looking back with rose-colored glasses, are buying revisionist history, or weren't old enough to experience it

The speaker started working in political media shortly after the 2016 election

The right has a propaganda machine at its disposal that operates 24 hours a day on TV, radio, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Rumble, and Discord servers pumping out right-wing propaganda on an endless loop

The top 20 podcasts in America include Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Theo Von, Dan Bongino, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, and Ben Shapiro, while the left only has The Daily and Podsafe America on that list

Corporate media exists to serve its shareholders as a business before it is anything else, certainly before it is a protector of democracy

The New York Times ran approximately 60 cover stories about Hillary Clinton's emails, indicating mainstream media's role in undermining Democratic candidates

The speaker has had to beg politicians for interviews on their channel for months without response, while those same politicians readily appear on mainstream outlets like the New York Times

Until Democrats find and persuade people where they actually are through alternative media, they will continue losing elections to the right

The mainstream media audience consists primarily of people who are already Democratic voters and high-information voters who don't need persuading, making it an inefficient target for Democratic messaging

There is a period of global high inflation following COVID-19 that came about after the pandemic

For most people in America who cannot afford a $400 emergency, the cost of goods increasing in the grocery store was their top priority in the 2024 election

Inflation-driven punishment of incumbent governments occurred globally: Marine Le Pen gained against Emmanuel Macron in France, Sunak's government lost in the UK, Modi lost his majority in India, and ruling parties lost in South Africa and Senegal

This was a miserable environment for incumbents not just in the US but across the entire planet during the 2024 election cycle

The Harris campaign ran the best campaign they possibly could have given the circumstances

Donald Trump running a 'miserable campaign' including suggesting Nancy Pelosi was something (complete phrase not finished) the day before election day and his campaign featuring a comedian telling Puerto Ricans their island was garbage despite needing to reach out to Latinos

The best candidate on Earth might not have been able to win in the political environment created by global incumbent punishment due to inflation

Self-care including eating, drinking, and sleeping is important for political activists in response to electoral defeat

Political disengagement is harmful because it gives right-wing opponents exactly what they want—a clear runway to continue dominating the country

The Affordable Care Act still exists today because Democrats came together in 2018 and intimidated policymakers who threatened to repeal it; if people had disengaged after 2016, 50 million Americans would not have healthcare

After 2016 election defeat, Democrats organized and won the House in 2018 with the biggest House margin for Democrats in modern American history
