A big problem for Democrats in 2024 is that they’ve painted Trump as literal evil incarnate.

In response, Trump is going on a ton of long-form podcasts where a lot of independents are watching and listening to Trump speak – many of them for the first time – and are able to form an opinion based on what they see first hand.

This is a stark contrast to how a lot of us have absorbed information in the past, which is whatever Legacy Media has shoved down our throats. It is not secret that Legacy Media, by and large, has a left-leaning bias.

This will – without a doubt – win voters that are unhappy with the system (which is A LOT of people – 19% of the country think Congress is doing a good job, 50% of the country identifies as Independent).

Trump’s entire position since the beginning is being the hammer to whatever we’ve built thus far, which has been very ineffective for many to put it mildly. His ability to be an effective hammer is still an open question.

However, by default, if Kamala doesn’t start doing long-form interviews or podcasts where Independents are able to gauge, first hand, her policy and who she is as a person, she will lose, and likely lose by a lot.

Anecdotally – I have many folks within my circle that I consider to be independent voters. As a whole, my circle leans left. None of them are enthusiastic about Kamala, and all of them have been softer on Trump vs 2020.

This is obviously in stark contrast to many polls, so my very small sample could be totally wrong.

But just like 2016, I think polls are missing a very significant shift in the general public. I think this shift is being driven by many choosing to forgo Legacy Media as their primary source of information, and instead absorbing information from more independent voices.

A lot of these voices, at least from what I’ve noticed, are questioning the system much more often, much more loudly, and much more confidently.

I think how COVID was handled, paired with Government’s heavy-handed approach to silence speech that was challenging the ‘true’ narrative – which by the way is now proven to be unquestionable true (Twitter Files, Zuck’s letter)… which is a literal obstruction of the First Amendment – have many convinced that whatever we’ve got going on now ain’t working.

In short – the whole ‘Trump is an evil dictator’ and ‘Kamala is an evil communist’ rhetoric is shallow and does nothing.

Instead, in depth discussions that reveals the individuals character, paired with policy, will win the day.

Only podcasts can do this, and only one candidate has taken this on.

Let me know what you think.
