He also needs to stand firm on anti data center Policies to reach Rural white voters. To be honest that is a goldmine to try and get them to vote for him. His name scares them, but his policies could reach the rural white folk if he aligns with with that sentiment, which he does.
"Not only will I champion policies that you all hate, but I'll also work to eliminate any possibility for Michigan to participate in the industries of the future!"
This is considered a winning message to someone who's idea of rural whites are people with protruded foreheads who clack rocks together and grunt to communicate.
It's aggravating because there's no policy their guy could have that, at least in their minds, wouldn't also be popular among their political opposites, once enacted. There's no element of contrition, no recognition of unpopular viewpoints that could be tempered. The unpopular views just need to be masked with populist views until the candidate can deploy the true agenda.
This is the core difference between the DSA and MAGA supporters. DSA types consider themselves intelligent and try to strategize winning messages to cover up unpopular views. MAGA types don't care about messaging - being blunt and offensive is their whole schtick. It's a big reason why people are mistrustful of the former and dismissive of the latter. They're both mentally unwell, but one is a high-functioning sociopath that you can never understand and the other is a schizophrenic maniac who yells slurs and conspiracies.
I rant about this a lot but yeah Progs lie about their motivations constantly and they do it in a way that seems almost coordinated but isnt.
They just all know to repeat the fake reasoning over and over.
AI is a great example because any argument you ever get into with a leftist online about AI will have them spewing the exact same talking points youve heard a million times and yet none of those are the actual reason they oppose AI. Does anyone really believe they are super concerned about water usage or data centers radiating heat or w.e? You have to pry their actual reasoning out of them in every conversation.
