One of the reasons that Donald Trump did so well with the American public is that he\u2019s a salesman.\u00a0 He knows how to talk to people and he knows what they want to hear.\u00a0 Can you imagine listening to a speech by Mitch McConnell?\u00a0 Not only is he a hopeless boob of a speaker but he doesn\u2019t have a clue about what the voters want.\u00a0 And he doesn\u2019t care.\u00a0 So even in politics you need someone with people skills.<\/p>\n
But my point is that politicians can only fight a battle against the Left in Washington and the state capitols.\u00a0 And, no doubt, winning the political wars is important.\u00a0 But what is just as important and what has been completely neglected is the social life of the Right.\u00a0 Currently we are not served by any of the corporations that provide cultural products and services.\u00a0 In fact, the opposite is true.\u00a0 Books, movies, games, music and entertainment of all sorts are specifically and intentionally curated to exclude anything that might appeal to the Right.<\/p>\n
Go to Amazon and look for books that appeal to you.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be fighting an uphill battle even if you already know the names of some.\u00a0 And when they recommend other books (as they always do) they seem to be selected from the LGBTQ Book of the Month Club.\u00a0 And forget movies and tv.\u00a0 The number of tolerable selections is miniscule and also hard to find.\u00a0 And that goes for music, games, comedians, dating services, sports channels and on and on and on.<\/p>\n
Recently a very few social media outlets like Rumble and Truth have come into existence.\u00a0 But these are primarily political outposts that currently have only a small following and don\u2019t fill much of a niche in terms of \u201csocial impact.\u201d\u00a0 And I think the reason for this is that no one with a true huckster\u2019s skills has arrived on the scene.\u00a0 What is needed is a showman to orchestrate an exciting and engaging social experience.\u00a0 Someone has to look intelligently at this enormous underserved market and identify a way to make a ton of money serving it.<\/p>\n
And honestly, there\u2019s no reason why someone doing this wouldn\u2019t be able to make money off of the rest of the market that isn\u2019t right-wing.\u00a0 Maybe the blue-haired cat ladies and LGBTQ freaks would boycott it but regular progressives are just as interested in getting stuff at a reasonable price as we are.\u00a0 You can sell the same dog food and toilet paper to everyone from Karl Marx to Ronald Reagan.\u00a0 All you have to do is make sure that you have an aisle in your \u201cstore\u201d that has our stuff too.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m surprised that supposed geniuses like Elon Musk and Peter Thiele haven\u2019t recognized the opportunity to go head-to-head with Bezos and Hollywood.\u00a0 They could make a fortune.\u00a0 And all they\u2019d have to do is package it all with some glitz and showmanship.\u00a0 There\u2019s a demand for wholesome entertainment for children.\u00a0 And it could start small.\u00a0 A small studio and a small publishing operation but one that has invested in talented creative types could do extremely well.<\/p>\n
This could be a lot more profitable and a lot less expensive than buying Twitter.\u00a0 Taking money away from Disney and Amazon with their lame Star Wars and Rings of Power franchises is a no-brainer.\u00a0 They\u2019ve abandoned tens of millions of fans by making blatantly woke and boring products that ignore the underlying stories that these fans value.<\/p>\n
So, Musk, Thiele and anyone else who has money and wants to make more of it, open your eyes and put on your ringmaster\u2019s hat, tails, boots and whip and address the \u201cladies and gentlemen and children of all ages\u201d to pay their ducats for a chance to enter the tent and be entertained.\u00a0 Just make sure the female trapeze artists are actually women.\u00a0 And while you\u2019re at it, we wouldn\u2019t complain if they were pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
