13 Ways Republicans Can Win The Internet
Benny Johnson
You can win the internet and a whole new generation of conservatives if you made just a few changes in your outreach strategy!
Via: memegenerator.net
1. The internet likes optimism. Be happy!
2. Purge the old, disaffected messaging leaders from your ranks.
So they stop releasing mind-numbing 100-page reports that no one will read.
Via: scribd.com
The internet wants to relate with you and is begging you to be more personal and entertaining!
Via: gifbin.com
Unlike Mitch McConnell, whose Twitter is essentially the foursquare of boring meetings and news articles.
Via: @McConnellPress
Social media is about relating with people on an everyday level.
Via: thegunnysack.com
Eric Cantor should tweet this gif. Because everyone loves smiling rabbits!

Don’t be scared of pushing your messaging with memes and humor!
5. And the internet will probably make fun of you when you mess up.
Via: knowyourmeme.com
6. Acknowledge young Republicans, who are doing the extraordinarily difficult job of being conservative on a college campus.
And have aspirational dreams about the future and what it means to be a Republican!
Via: gifbin.com
Young conservatives should be handed the messaging of the party because they are not scared of what people are going to think.
Via: vanguard.bbns.org
7. This guy is not the enemy. Libertarians are key to progressing conservative views for young people. Embrace them!
…but if you are fun and personable they will love you!
10. Quit it with the phony, photo-op minority “outreach” efforts.

Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the Civil Rights Act in much larger percentages than Democrats.
Via: govtrack.us
So, start running on the principles of freedom and equality.
Many gays could be natural Republicans if you reached out to them instead of treating them like this:
12. Make your serious points pretty and shareable: GOOD JOB Mr. Speaker.
BAD JOB RNC, KILL ME.
13. In the end, being conservative can be awesome — don’t hide it!
Via: gifbin.com
UPDATE: Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee, has tweeted out the smiling rabbit.

ickievickie 2 months agoI’m contented to see that other contributors know their history. The Republican party in the early 20th century is VERY different from today. It’s like when ignorant conservatives say “Abraham Lincoln was a Republican!” No. No. No. Republicans can try to win the internet, but their entire platform is outdated and their party is seriously divided. Thanks for spewing out inaccurate data. Gov. Christie wins the internet because he is a moderate that has no problem working towards progress and effiecieny.

I’m sorry but did the author not read about the CPAC and all the nonsense from the “base”? Repubs are at heart, reactionary angry rural whites that like guns and resent the poor. Got a gif for that? If they want to exist 30 years from now then they need to change their positions as well as the tenor of the party. You all need to ostracize The Limbaughs, O’Reilly’s, Bachmann’s, and Palin’s. New saviors like Jindal or Cruz ring hollow on a national stage and we see right through you. Baby Paul is an obnoxious narcissist. Unless you all can manage to gerrymander the shit out of the electoral college and cheat up and down the country, you will be about as popular in 30 years as the Whigs are now.

I have never been more happy to live in a parliamentary democracy. Sure, minority governments suck, but at least we’re not quite so polarized. The two-party system totally marginalizes and alienates those whose fiscal beliefs are conservative, but have liberal social views. Voters basically have to decide which part of their ideology they’re going to abandon come election time.

bens7 2 months agoHere’s how Republicans can win over more people: end this nonsensical delusion that “government” is catagorically problematic. Expand broader access to government through more robust democracy. End the push for Voter IDs and increase use of referendums. More polling places. More elections. Most people trust their democratically elected leaders, who are beholden to the people, than they do private companies, who are beholden only to their owners and shareholders. A well functioning government makes life better and easier for people. There are things to be fixed but cutting government out is not always the best approach. Also, a lot of your party members are bigots. The GOP: not racist, but number one among racists.

I’m so glad others pointed out the writer’s flawed grasp of history. Dear Republicans: that argument might sway a few white people who failed history or never took it, but people of color know what happened (the Solid South switched from Democrat to Republican because of their racism) and we know where we are truly not welcome (CPAC 2013, for example). Also, we just don’t agree with your policy positions. Give it up.

Benjamin Sapiens 3 months agoWhy has BuzzFeed been giving out these rimjobs to the right wing these past few days? Are you just trying to cash in on the buzz surrounding CPAC? Did you just hire a bunch of shitty new wingnut contributors? Whatever the reason, you need to stop, because it sucks. Conservatism is, at best, lame, and typically it’s disgusting vile. Always has been, always will be. And it will never, ever be cool, no matter how earnestly you try to make it so.

You know that the Republican party of the previous centuries and the Republican party of today are not one and the same? Particularly due to the the Southern Strategy when Nixon’s campaign completely gave up attempting to court Black and minority voters and began to focus on ‘negrophobe voters’ in the south. The party lines pretty much flipped around 1975, and attributing actions of previous Republican lawmakers as reflective of the party today or its values is based in misinformation. The same can be said of the Democrats.

THANK YOU. Why do people not seem to understand this? Republicans love to boast that they are the “Party of Lincoln,” which is correct in name only. Describing politicians throughout history as Democrat or Republican is virtually meaningless. Liberal or conservative are more accurate descriptors.
