Democrats Aim To Win Rural Voters By Lying About ‘Moderation’

Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural America.

Texas Senate Democrat candidate James Talarico’s spiritual leader, the lesbian preacher Babs Miller, was recently caught on hidden camera admitting he’s lying to voters about his positions: “I can guarantee you that once he’s elected he’ll change his tune” on transgender politics, she told an undercover reporter.

Deceiving voters is Democrats’ strategy because their political extremism is unpopular. Democrats especially know they cannot win fair elections without making inroads in rural and small-town America, like the Texas areas Talarico needs to win a Senate seat. In fact, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigning in rural areas may have given him the edge in his primary against Haley Stevens.

Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural America these days. That’s because rural America “is the wall the American Left keeps hitting,” according to longtime DSA activist Bhaskar Sunkara.

Democrats know that their brand is toxic in rural America. So, how to get elected while bearing a toxic brand? Sunkara advocates for a strong message of “progressive populism” delivered with “rhetorical discipline.” In a word: propaganda.

For Democrats, disciplined propaganda is critical to striking a delicate balance between keeping their base motivated and appealing to small-town and rural America. For example, with allies in the corporate media, they’ve concocted the narrative of a “Farmageddon” revolt in which farmers are angry with President Trump and the GOP.

However, if the DSA is ever able to enact its platform — of abolishing the Senate, the Supreme Court, Electoral College, presidency and the Constitution itself — propaganda needn’t be very disciplined. In the meantime, the trick is to propagandize rural voters so they vote themselves into oblivion by electing socialists.

So what’s their propaganda game plan? In brief: hide, deny, re-identify, coopt, and speak “country” while selling their toxic product.

Hide: ‘This Is Not the Radical You’re Looking For’

One obvious way Democrat candidates try to hide in red districts is by using the label “independent.” For example, in Shenandoah County, Virginia, a leftist running as an independent for county supervisor lost his close 2019 race to a Republican. Then, in a hot mic Facebook post he blamed the district’s “deplorables.”

Such candidates also hide behind traditional-sounding identities like “veteran,” “small business owner,” “family man,” or, like Talarico, “religious.”

Deny: ‘Whoa, Pardner, That’s Not Me!’
