A Failure to Communicate: Why Stephen Miller’s Gambits Don’t Actually Work On People Outside of MAGA.

,

Stephen Miller is fluent in MAGA, and Gibberish on outsiders.

Miller is a primal thinker, and is of the same ilk as MAGA and Trump. That’s being one-third intelligent.

He is both emotionally and analytically weak. Everything he does gets garbled up.

The Left are not emotional thinkers. That’s the realm of Independents. The Left are analytical thinkers (but analytical thinkers got split based on wealth and industry. Once upon a time the Tech Bros were aligned, but then thought cozying up to Trump, a primal thinker, was a good idea. The analytical base is broken and that’s not a good thing for those kinds of thinkers, but let the brawling begin) and analytical thinkers look down on primal thinkers, thinking they are superior, which they are not. They are also one-third literate; they just have a different core literacy guiding them.

Threatening to arrest journalists appeals to primal thinkers: it is a form of chest-thumping, which doesn’t play well with analytical thinkers: they just see it as a puzzle to solve and overcome. This won’t deter or scare them: this is just proof that primal thinkers are icky neanderthals who need to be put in their place so they are reminded that they are on the bottom of the non-existent pecking order.

But analytical thinkers also study other strategies and copy them as they repurpose them. Primal thinkers used social media to win both 2016 and 2024.

The primal play dirty and use power to get their way. Analytical people study, test, and then co-opt and repurpose the same strategies.

When Miller was in the shadows, he was a harder target to read. Now that Trump is desperate, he’s put him front and center where he becomes an easy mark to figure out and neutralize.
