Democratic leadership announced their plans to play the 2013 Katy Perry song “Roar” very loud in response to the aggressive start of President Donald Trump’s second term.
They need to have rehearsed and prepared talking points because that’s the only way they’ll actually come across as standing for anything other than the status quo, which is deeply unpopular. Most democrats probably don’t even know what they even theoretically stand for without a corporate donor explicitly telling them what to do, and most of them can’t do improv on the level of even being able to make shit up or lie in the absence of that, much less to charmingly lie by omission or tell the truth by technicality.
I’m saying the status quo IS the rehearsed and prepared talking points. Whether they are honest or not, its not what people want, and they dont trust it. Having casual unscripted conversations without restrictions, like trump and Vance did on podcasts, is a great way to appeal to people directly. Theres a reason these podcasts have millions of subscribers.
