In the latter half of the Obama administration, it was the conservative media's job to say, why can't we just talk it out?

Which I agree with open dialogue.

However, that is not language of strength.

That is language of please just like don't kill me.

Let's maybe.

Well, that's because they understand how media works, and they understand that most people's experience with the news and what is happening is going to be based on words coming out of people's mouths.

And so if they see their political class saying, no, we're going to moderate, that may bring back some of the Dems who have been a little bit wary seeing where the country is going.

And you see the same thing on the right, where most people are experiencing what is happening based on if Trump says something.

And so if Trump says, no, we're not going to go after the people who are here just illegally.

It's just the hard criminals.

That's probably good messaging in the sense that it's the moderates who are maybe not in love with seeing like the mass deportations.

They can say, oh, OK, well, Trump says this.

I agree with that.

They go about their day.

We as people who pay attention to this stuff understand it's a little bit different.

Obviously, we have patriots in charge of that.

But for some reason, the people who supposedly know how the world works better than you or I are seeing those words come out of Trump's mouth.

seeing that they don't square with what is actually happening, and instead of saying, okay, maybe I should align myself better with reality, they're saying, actually, Trump's words out of his mouth are what is really happening, and what is happening on the ground is not what's happening.

Ignore what's really happening.

And the liberals freaking out about what is happening is also not happening.
