Welcome to this week’s edition of “Stuff You Should Consume,”— a weekly compilation of interesting political content for Message Box readers. “Education and the Culture Wars: A Guide for Advocates” by Navigator Research “Inside the “Private and Confidential” Conservative Group That Promises to ‘Crush Liberal Dominance’”
I have this thought I can’t shake: is the Republican Party launching an air ball in messaging for the 2024 election? All this woke/anti-woke, book bans, interference in what businesses say to employees, whitewashing school curricula, guns, anti-trans, anti-drag, anti-abortion laws, and re-imagining the Insurrection?
I can’t see how anyone could tool all that into a coherent message, and most of it appeals to a sliver of the electorate. I read a poll recently that said 40% aren’t sure what ‘woke’ means, and 40% think it sounds good.
The only message I see as working for them is crime hysteria. That always works. Any chance Biden can defuse that with a crime bill?
So, Dan, is it possible that the GOP, full of practiced politicians, could really be this far off the mark as to get on the short side of so many issues? Or am I reading too much into very early days?
