Debate and persuasion politics is over

It’s all about block voting. Win the voter blocks, win elections. To win the voter blocks, pay off the block community leaders. No one in 2025 is coming to the other side because of a persuasive debate.
The Democrats have no shame or limiting principles. They are fine promising the world to their voting blocks, whether it materializes or not.
The conservative side is arguing and making their pitch on principle and ideology. Which is much more abstract to the average voter. This is only going to be effective to 100+ IQ voters. The average IQ of foreigners being imported is in the 70-80 range.
Republicans only chance is to figure out how to secure 52% of the voter blocks, and how to weaken/neuter the other 48% as much as possible.

Only smart people vote Republican. The problem is we have too many fricking retards up north and on the west coast.

And yet, somehow, they did just a year ago.
It must have been magic.

You mean like when Trump promised free IVF for everybody? Or when he promised health insurance that would cover everybody but still cost less?

I don’t agree with this stuff in principle, especially anything promoting IVF. But Trump recognizes the transactional nature of politics much better than most Republicans.
Bow tie libertarian dorks are too busy sniffing each others farts caught up in their abstract theories that only
people with 100+ IQs can grasp or appreciate. How does that work when you have to appeal to mostly sub 80 IQ voters?
Either figure out a way to massively restrict suffrage and voting rights to a more qualified electorate or get used to buying off voting blocks with cheap promises and freebies. There is no middle ground. 80 IQ foreigners aren’t reading John Locke and your Cato institute white papers.

Just because I am recognizing a reality does not mean I agree with it in principle. To some degree all politics is always transactional. With a higher IQ, close knit, homogeneous and high trust, moral population… you can focus more on ideology and culture building and less away from fractional politics… in a mass scale diverse population… it is all transactional. Thats just the reality.
This is why we should try to go away from universal suffrage and mass scale diversity. So we could possibly have a government that truly looks like the one we were intended to have. But with the demographics reality of our electorate, that is not possible. It simply becomes a race to the bottom on who can extract out the most resources from the remaining husk.
