In humorous book history,” The Secret Wars” was a Marvel marketing campaign to increase the number of products available to children. The series itself was published in the mid-80s— and not-so-coincidentally,” Avengers: Key War” will be a Marvel drama in 2027 — but the purpose it was named” Key War” was because a Mattel focus party reported that small children responded favorably to the words” key” and “wars”.

Its vulgar commercial roots turned into a stunning collection of classic skill. ( Or something. ) Irregardless,” The Secret War” sold very well: Outperformed all the other superhero cartoons and moved a ton of products off the shelves.
It turns out that children had better idea of what they wanted than people. The adults simply needed to stop and pay attention.
In a related word, Politico released a tale now,” Citizens Were Right About the Market. The Data Was Wrong”. Although you may challenge to control your laughs, it’s a amazing content that is well worth your time. How’s the opening paragraph:
Before the national election, some Democrats were perplexed by the apparent disconnect between the government’s views of the market on the ground and “economic fact,” as reflected in various government statistics. Some in Washington blasted the loss of the public to reveal how robust the business actually was. They asserted that right-wing sound tanks were tricking voters into believing utterly absurd tales of America’s demise.
That’s a delightful installation, ain’t it? Positive, it kind of telegraphs the joke, but yet, try to enjoy it:
We were shocked by what we discovered. The bottom line is that, for 20 times or more, including the months prior to the election, voting view was more indicative of real than the former data. Our investigation revealed that the information gathered by the different agencies is mostly accurate. Also, the people staffing those organizations are talented and well-intentioned. However, the filters used to generate the title statistics are flawed. They produce a little brighter picture of truth than bears are seen on the ground as a result. ]emphasis added]

Only a Democrat analyst may be” shocked” to learn that the people are aware of what is happening because the writer is Eugene Ludwig, an American financial analyst who served as the country’s superintendent under President Clinton.
In the first 1960s, John F. Kennedy warned of a weapon space. Thirty years later, President Clinton warned of a “skills gap”. Obama made a second attempt to address the “gender earn gap”
Now, the Democrats are suffering from a real difference. They spent four years preaching that Bidenomics was the fear of the world, prices wasn’t so terrible, Trump is “literally Hitler”, and Biden is” as strong as a tack”. Each and every state has been carefully discredited. It’s decimated the Democrats ‘ trust.
In 2024, millions of Americans were electing Donald Trump despite the fact that many people were even electing him based on Joe Biden’s misleading promises and broken promises. The greatest political litmus test is still the fact.
But, if you’re a Democrat functionary, what’s your next move?
CNN really wrote it all down for you, in today’s content,” Inside the GOP’s cautious opposition to Musk’s DOGE work”. As with the Ludwig’s Politico piece, giggle-suppression could be an issue for conservative readers, because CNN’s “analysis” is hopelessly intertwined with all the standard leftwing assumptions. Their central thesis is basically this: As we all know, Donald Trump is a terrifying, evil man, and he’s scheming with Elon Musk to destroy the Constitution. Unfortunately, the congressional Republicans are too scared of Trump to fight for what’s moral and just. But perhaps a few brave Republicans will finally find the courage to do the right thing?

And to prove their point, CNN did what it usually does: Rely on an anonymous Republican source to” sound the alarm” on Trump’s fascism.
One GOP lawmaker told CNN,” People would be lit up about this with a Democratic administration with the same things happening. ” So, I think we have to be careful about the precedent that they’re setting”.
The thing is, I don’t think CNN fabricated that quote. I have a feeling that there are ( multiple ) RINOs on Capitol Hill who are collaborating with liberals to make exit plans.
Amidst the flurry of Trump’s executive orders and dizzying pace of new MAGA initiatives, never forget that there’s still a Democratic ground game in D. C. It operates in secret, waging war on conservatives.
And at the moment, it is most important to find Republican politicians who are willing to change jobs.
They’ll be patient. Trump is still in his honeymoon period, they’ll wait until there’s blood in the water. But it’s Partisan Politics 101: When there’s a narrow majority, the minority only needs to pick off a handful of people. It has already occurred and will undoubtedly occur again.
The left still has ample assets to bestow upon traitors: Cable TV time-slots, book deals, pop-culture approval, and access to new pipelines of donors. They’ve been diminished, but their cupboard isn’t bare. And in the unlikely event that a GOP policymaker finds himself facing the wrong end of a MAGA barb, jumping ship might be the only option.

Besides, the left doesn’t even need Republicans to forsake their own party entirely. There are countless ways to undermine the MAGA agenda while still maintaining your “plausible deniability,” and Capitol Hill is the land of committees, bureaucratic bloat, and enough red tape to choke a horse.
Keep an eye out for Republican politicians who regularly appear in front of liberal media. That’s the telltale sign that the two sides are playing footsie. Another example of a Republican receiving positive praise from oft-hostile outlets and platforms is when they suddenly transition from persona non grata to the next Liz Cheney.
Last night, comedian Jon Stewart detested the Democrats ‘ sales pitch to resentful Republicans. Check out this clip, beginning at the 14: 09 mark (time-stamped for your convenience ):

As Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman said,” We are going to need some Republicans, frankly, who are willing to lose, who are willing to be a Liz Cheney, and say,’ I will lose my seat to do the right thing by this country — not the right thing by Donald Trump.’ I haven’t seen it yet. Let’s hope”. ]emphasis added]
( Not the most inspiring sales pitch, but hey, they’re doing the best they can. )
Irrespective of its clumsiness, the Democratic recruitment campaign is fully underway in D. C., waging war in secret, searching for GOP defectors. And because it’s a ground game, it won’t always be visible from afar.

It’s Secret Wars, D. C. style.
This is one of those stories that’s far from over. More likely than not, the worst is yet to come.
