The belief of the totalitarians that they just need to formulate the message better makes me think of someone offering a bowl of dog poop and telling me it's really delicious chocolate ice cream. If only they get the words right, they'll be convincing.
And I would add 2020! In "16" trump surprised them! In 2024 it was Uncle Elon. Those Jacobins calling themselves Democrats thought they had a lock on "24" never expecting Uncle Elon. "Democracy is too important to leave up to the votes of the people."
Had to look up 'alkahest.' Great word.

Don't eat what they're giving you.
'they just need to formulate the message better'
This is the Democrats after losing in 2016 and then again in 2024. The true message was obvious, but they refused to see it.
It's still the Democrats, they haven't learned a thing.

We used to call it, "putting a coat of chocolate on a dog turd".
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
