Richard I love what you say, but I loathe how you say it. Chris Williamson saw a voice director for a few sessions and it made a huge improvement in his speaking technique. See a speech director it’s worth it.
What I don't understand is him saying how important it is to frame your desired policy in terms of your interlocutor's interest, but then abandoning that when it comes to talking to the left. Is it impossible for him to imagine how someone on the left could be persuaded to have similar goals?
@@cjcanton9121 That's his job, but it shouldn't be too hard. He was talking about how most Democrats don't like affirmative action and like color-blindness, for example.
There is a difference between a left wing voter and the cultural institution of the left in places like the Atlantic and the New York Times. You should try to convince and appeal to regular votes since they do actually agree with you, but don't bend over backwards and sacrifice your position to please Atlantic and New York Times Journalists.
How does Chris playing the part of the villain on, say, the CRT debate work to his or anyone else’s advantage? Could someone (or Chris is he sees this) explain?
Doubt CRT has been defeated, it's just been renamed in most red places where legislation was introduced. But Rufo does something other than just whining, goes for the policy wins.
1:10:22 "The *radical left* said 'we're gonna take over the institutions anti-democratically, we're gonna embed our ideology.' The governor has given us this great *gift, this great responsibility,* to reverse the long march through the institutions using *democratic* political power. And so it's this *great experiment* " Wow, he's really good at this No wonder he's so beloved and effective!
Seems to me the left has taken over institutions largely organically, such as the college that Rufo is now on the board of, whereas Rufo's tactic is to use state power to force these institutions to comply with right wing ideology. I don't think democratic values have much to do with this.
