Ep 891: Stories Over Statistics
In this week's episode, we dive into why Republicans keep winning the messaging war despite their policies hurting average Americans. We explore how stories consistently triumph over facts in political discourse and why Democrats' reliance on statistics isn't working. From "The Inspector General" to parables in the Bible, we examine how powerful narratives shape public perception more effectively than cold, hard facts. We also break down the absurdity of Trump's tariffs, the mainstream media's underwhelming coverage of protests, and why Medicaid is secretly a middle-class benefit that affects more Americans than you might think. Join us for an episode that might just change how you think about political communication in these chaotic times.

And our stories have the additional benefit of being true...
Right now as I am typing this, Briana is watching the huge AOC/Bernie rally in LA, where the speaker is bellowing "Fuck around?"
as the crowd answers "Find out." over and over.
It seems to me that Democrats are like beavers. If you introduce them to a habitat, they will go about their business and in the process, solve all kinds of problems you had mostly just given up on as endemic to our time.
So let's try not to let ourselves be hunted to extinction for our pelts...
Thank you again for the podcast. I was delighted this week when a horse named "Journalism" started winning high-profile races.
