I did a solo edition of The Strategy Session last night and it includes one of the most important advertising and political lessons you’ll ever learn: The Dog Food Test.
I keep thinking about the 'holding all the cards' thing the Trumpies like to run with. A year ago, they said that Zelenskyy had no cards while Putin held all of them. Now look. Zelenskyy is taking the war into the heart of Moscow; he's cut security deals with countries in the Middle East for drone technology and expertise; he was at the European summit in Armenia [!!!] where it's clear the EU is ready to welcome Ukraine. Putin, meanwhile, is spending most of his time hiding out in bunkers; he's put his top generals under his personal 'security' detail; his personal staff aren't allowed to take public transportation and have had their homes wired with security cams. What was that about cards again?
Anecdotal evidence isn't worth much, but my hubs and I used to be center-left Dems, our best friends were center-right Rs; we're all solid independents now who've had enough of Trump and Trump toadies. The NC legislature can gerrymander every Democrats out of the map, and it won't stop the coming blue asteroid strike. The people of Hungary were faced with the same kind of election rigging, but they showed up anyway. In the largest voter turnout in Hungarian history. They're my inspiration going forward.
The Dog Food Test is interesting. No matter how you package the Dog Food if it's no good the Dog won't eat. Cats are even more notorious concerning food. Even if it was once food they liked, they can walk away looking for something better. It does describe how the regime and followers are trying to package the war, gas and grocery prices. My hope is that people are not buying it and walking to something better. Thanks, Rick. Your solo run on the strategy session was much appreciated. Take care.

Just a reminder “everything Trump does has failed” even his little idiots cult.🚯⭕️
Thanks for flying solo, Rick. It was a treat for your followers.
