The only real change is that they started saying they were very successful.
When they lost SA they then claimed they didn’t expect to win it
On Facebook, it seems like a lot of the people seeing they’d vote too are bots, or the same racist boomers who have likely always voted for them
A neat little array. Worth an actual read or at least a skim, it’s not just PHON voters.
It also helps to see this kind of thing so we can notice lines of parallel and work on top of them to bring people away from ON. Many have [I believe sincerely] said “I don’t agree with many of her policies”, so we should build on that and show parties which have the same focus on real working issues but without the nationalist garbage.
Libs collapsed. The lib voters don’t want to vote labor. That’s about the bulk of it.
Dipshits, because they’re dipshits.
Yes, but if we succumb to this narrative we risk the same fate as the US. Clinton’s “deplorables”. Reform party rising in UK. The solutions are misguided but the grievances need validation.
💯! I saw someone quite left-wing on a panel, and they said something to the effect of these people aren’t your enemy, they are how you win an election. Calling people you disagree with idiots is not how you win them over.
I think that’s very insightful. I’ve always been a been a left wing person. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that the only way you can change a person’s political perspective is to first make them feel heard. Establish a personal relationship, establish common ground, listen to them. Once you’ve done that, you can start to challenge their beliefs, from a place of understanding. Then they don’t feel attacked. I think online discourse mostly can’t do that. For example, my grand father was a racist for most of his life, until he joined the local rotary club, and started doing community programs with the local indigenous people. It’s much easier to empathise with people when you’re face to face and those mirror neurons are firing. Too much leftist politics are based online. It doesn’t work.
While I fully agree, they’re propaganda-ised dipshits. All the media they consume tells them one story.
