“Iran, Fascism, Corruption, Stupidity, and Affordability,” and “Lift People Up and Expand the Middle Class”: Two Winning Slogans the Democrats Should Run On

In 1952, with Dwight Eisenhower at the head of the ticket and McCarthyism in its popular phase, Republicans ran on a simple slogan attacking the Truman Administration on three words: Korea (while the war was going on and Truman had fired conservative darling Douglas MacArthur), Communism, and Corruption.

While most historians concede that the popular Eisenhower would have won that election no matter what slogan he and his campaign employed, Democrats should use that concise marketing strategy to channel voter discontent with the current Donald Trump regime in order to drive them to the polls this November.

There are many interesting ideas with many examples of Trump and his team’s incompetence, fascist mindset, public corruption, with his family and allies enriching themselves, and poor policy economic, immigration, and policy choices.

Appearing on Morning Joe after the Hungarian Elections that saw the defeat of Viktor Orban, 2016 Presidential Popular Vote Winner, Hillary Clinton proposed that Democrats emulate the messaging of Péter Magyar running on a simple slogan of Affordability and Accountability.

Clinton had already penned an op-ed suggesting how Democrats could run on the affordability issue.

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff has given spirited speeches in Georgia in his re-election (and Presidential???) campaign, calling for the people to rise up against corruption of the Mara Largo Mafia and the Epstein Class.

Joe Scarborough on his MSNOW show said the Democrats should run on Costs, Corruption, and Chaos.

Arizona Legisaltive Democrats are running on a slogan “An Arizona we can afford.”

Personally, I think they should add Expanding the Middle Class to that.

Also, looking at the 1952 Republican Slogan, it would be fairly easy to substitute the words Iran for Korea, Fascism for Communism, add Stupidity and Affordability, and run on two slogans.

The first would be campaigning against the Trump regime with:

Iran, Fascism, Corruption, Stupidity, and Affordability.

The other would embody what the Democrats are runnng for:

Lift People Up and Expand the Middle Class.

Another potential slogan one that plays on the World War One Slogan of Hang the Kaiser, would be Arrest the Epstein Class.
