Democrats Upset Republicans Running Circles Around Them Online

Well, it’s not really hard when Democrats are supporting keeping fraud, waste, worthless federal employees, and so much more that the American citizens do not want

Dems concede Republicans ‘running circles’ around them online as Trump remakes Washington

The Department of Government Efficiency created its own account on X last November, amassing 4 million followers with a stream of news on contract cancellations and other cuts to the bureaucracy. Elon Musk has posted relentlessly on the social media platform he owns, promoting his own voice on an algorithm he controls.

The Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, started a rapid response account in January with about 121,000 followers, a fraction of DOGE’s reach. And Democrats held traditional rallies outside the USAID and Treasury buildings, where Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, was mocked on late-night TV and by even some within his own party after leading a chant of “We will win!”

It was a halting response by Democrats to a flood of pro-DOGE messaging. And what was worse, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic elected officials and strategists, was that they were doing it on the wrong platform — convening a conventional show of resistance for local and national TV cameras, as Schumer did while holding a carton of eggs, while largely leaving unanswered the torrent of MAGA orthodoxy and, in many cases, disinformation online.

In the online war, said Chi Ossé, a Democratic New York City councilman who has built an online following through his short-form, explanatory videos, you “don’t see those folks anywhere.”

“Trump and Republicans have been able to grasp different types of media in how to get their message across that impacts society as a whole, and I do believe that Dem leadership is missing the mark, not only in the election but in our resistance 2.0,” Ossé said. “We need to be active in every medium.”

It’s not the messaging, it’s the message. “Hey, the federal government is wasting your taxpayer money big time. We’re hiring people who are unqualified and/or wackos with agendas. We’re forcing your female children to have unhinged males who think they’re female in their safe spaces and sports. We’re sending your money to far flung nations for insane projects and a good chunk disappears into the pockets of who knows. And so much more.” How’s that working out. But, it’s not just on social media

This is being shared everywhere, and it should be, because it’s historically illiterate, antagonistic to a fundamental value, and done so condescendingly from a highly paid “news” desk.

If you read the full transcript of the exchange it gets much, much worse. The Credentialed Media doesn’t seem to understand that their schtick doesn’t work anymore. No one believes it. Americans deride it. Sure, the public school systems have been atrocious at teaching history, like WWII, but, Americans are not as stupid as the Democrats think they are.
