Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is really getting under the skin of California’s Democrat Oligarchy. Can a Republican really get elected in La La Land? I won’t hold my breath, but it’s terrific to see someone with a backbone reminding voters that Democrats have destroyed everything they’ve touched in California.
Pratt has an army of talented artists who continue to produce short videos supporting his candidacy. In the true spirit of Hollywood, these creators highlight Democrat-engineered blight in L.A. and then reveal Pratt as the kind of cinematic superhero willing to save the city. It’s driving the Democrat Oligarchy nuts because the messages are clever, short, fun, effective, and go viral on social media as soon as they’re released. Many of these are coming from people with no direct connection to Pratt’s campaign.
Free promotional advertising on this scale is reminiscent of the thousands of MAGA geniuses who produced content in support of President Trump’s campaigns. One of Trump’s gifts is his willingness to lean into pop-culture trends and budding communications platforms to amplify his message. When other political campaigns (see “I’m with Her” Hillary and Jeb!) were spending millions of dollars on consultants, political operatives, “journalists,” and movie studios to deliver trite soundbites to the public, Trump’s mostly anonymous coalition of MAGA visual artists put together amazing online content that captured the public’s attention.
At the time, nobody had seen anything like it. Even during Obama’s meteoric rise, his campaign team maintained control over messaging at all times. David Axelrod shaped Obama into a fictional character that he could “sell” to voters. While Axelrod invented Obama and gave him a backstory that resonated with Americans, he did not permit outsiders to “construct” the Obama narrative. The most significant pop culture creation during Obama’s run for the presidency came from designer Shepard Fairey, who created the iconic “Hope” street poster of Obama in red, beige, and blue stenciling that resembled a similarly iconic portrait of President Kennedy. Even then, however, Fairey first sought and received approval from the Obama campaign before printing hundreds of thousands of vinyl stickers that ended up on lampposts and town walls all over the country.
Trump’s MAGA army of online savants drowned Obama’s “Hope” image with the sheer magnitude of their artwork, videos, memes, and jokes during the 2016 election, and those talented messengers haven’t let up in ten years. Whereas Axelrod resisted outside attempts to redesign the Obama candidate that he was personally designing, Trump never had any problem with strangers molding and amplifying his various political messages. When he saw cartoons or social media comments that he found politically helpful or just humorous, Trump retweeted them to tens of millions of people. Certain content creators found fame overnight simply because the president has a sense of humor and incredible intuition as to how best to communicate with the American people. Obama’s politburo got a rodeo clown fired and permanently banned for wearing an Obama Halloween mask. Trump turns videos of people pretending to be him into viral sensations. Obama had one image of “Hope” that has long since faded into a relic for the Smithsonian. The MAGA phenomenon hasn’t stopped creating powerful messages that resonate with Americans every day.
This is the magic that Spencer Pratt’s campaign has in spades. It’s organic. It’s clever. It’s cool. It’s all the things that Democrats can’t do.
Kamala Harris burned through a billion dollars for a 107-day campaign that hired celebrities and entertainers to pretend that they liked her. Normal people can spot phonies so much better than Democrats realize. They watched the Kamala spectacle and saw a cackling woman (much like Hillary) who paid people to cheer for her (much like Hillary). There is nothing authentic about Kamala, Hillary, Bernie, Barack, Chuck, Nancy, Michelle, Gavin, Pete, Hakeem, AOC, or any of the other Democrats on the national stage who use fake accents and pretend to know how to barbecue, eat fried food, grow a beard, drive a car, drink a beer, fight, or pray at church.
Nobody looks at President Trump and says, “That man is being inauthentic.” Trump is Trump at all times. Well, Spencer Pratt seems to have the same attribute. Pratt is Pratt at all times. Voters can easily spot the difference between DEI-robot (and current L.A. mayor) Karen Bass and tell-it-like-it-is, no-holds-barred Pratt. You can’t fake authenticity.
But you can set a billion dollars on fire while pretending not to be fake. That’s all Democrats know how to do now. It’s hard to believe that they were once considered the “cool kids” and that they effortlessly controlled the “ins” and “outs” of pop culture. Because Democrats aren’t “cool.” They are the dorks who pay “cool” people to hang out with them.
The Democrat party has become nothing more than a dive bar filled with aging communists, raging feminazis, actual Nazis, sexually-confused gender-benders, cosplaying revolutionaries, church-arsonists, assassins, assassin-groupies, way too many pedophiles, and Robert De Niro. Needless to say, normal people take one look at what Democrats have on tap and run the other way. The degenerate donkeys belong in the red-light district or under a collapsing bridge in the sketchy, forgotten part of town. Nobody looks at their fondness for used drug needles, poop-ridden streets, violent crime, and STDs and says, “Ooh, how chic!”
Spencer Pratt gets this. He knows that the Democrat party has more in common with the zombies of The Walking Dead than with Americans’ dreams of the future. California’s Democrat Oligarchy doesn’t want Elon Musk’s space rockets; it prefers no-go zones filled with drug-addled crazies. The Democrat Oligarchy doesn’t want cheap energy, new industry, or next-century engineering marvels; it prefers “green energy”-induced inflation, killing industries, and hundred-billion-dollar boondoggles. The Democrat Oligarchy doesn’t care about American citizens; it prefers illegal immigrants. The Democrat Oligarchy doesn’t want to fix anything; it prefers potholes, wildfires, unfunded police and fire departments, dangerous public parks, and bankruptcy.
Pratt and his supporters just show L.A. residents exactly what L.A. has become, and nobody with eyes can turn away from the horror show that Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom have unleashed. Why in the world would anybody reward political leaders who cause harm and suffering and then tax people more for all the harm and suffering that they’ve caused? At some point, even the dum-dums in La La Land must drive over enough potholes, hike through enough burned-out neighborhoods, or step on enough deadly needles littering playgrounds and beaches to wonder, “Is the Democrat Oligarchy capable of building, cleaning, securing, or doing anything?” Given that Pratt’s support in L.A. continues to rise, it seems that some of California’s Democrat faithful have finally realized that they’ve been living in Kurt Russell’s Escape from L.A.
So here comes Spencer Pratt out of nowhere, and voters are listening. Bass, Newsom, Pelosi, and Harris call him a “reality TV star.” Well, that’s what Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, and newly-minted Democrat Bill Kristol used to call candidate Donald Trump before he kicked their rears on the way to the White House. Democrats call Pratt “inexperienced” and “in over his head.” Well, if Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom are what Democrats mean by “experienced,” then that word just means that everything is broken, costs more, and is covered in human feces.
Let’s be real: Democrats haven’t produced anything of value this century. Obamacare is a bust. The “Green New Deal” is a bust. California is a bust. Los Angeles is a bust. Almost every city in America is collapsing because Democrats run almost every city.
Pratt, like Trump, says: Enough is enough. Forget your fake “hope.” It’s time for real change.
