"You Piss Them Off, They Vote the Other Way" - 4 Types of Republican Voters

Valuetainment

October 8, 2026

There are only 4 types of voters and politicians lose two of them the same way. Insult a voter, and they either flip to the other side or stay home on Election Day.

You know what the four types of voters I think there are? Here's the four types of voters, my opinion. So, and this goes to Republicans and Democrats. You know what one type of voter is? The one that you piss off, and they choose to vote the other way. What percentage of Republicans you think are gonna vote Democrat?

Very few. I know, but what do you think it is?

SPEAKER_3 (0:19)

3%.

Patrick Bet-David (0:20)

I think it's less than that, I think it's 1%. What percentage you think will vote independent or libertarian?

What percentage of Republicans are gonna vote, I'm so sick of it, I'm so this.

SPEAKER_3 (0:30)

A candidate?

SPEAKER_4 (0:31)

Registered Republicans?

Patrick Bet-David (0:33)

Registered Republicans.

SPEAKER_4 (0:34)

I think there's probably 5%, and they were probably very recent Republicans that go back to the independent.

Patrick Bet-David (0:39)

So they were independents that came, that will go back because they're pissed off with certain things. You know what's the second type of voter you have? The one that sits it out.

He's like, you know what? I'm not even gonna vote in Florida.

Not excited about what you guys did. I'm not even gonna vote in Ohio. I'm not even gonna vote for this. And the president's even saying, I want you to go vote as if I'm on the ballot. It's not gonna work, that's not how voting works. He said that in Ohio to help out with Vivek, and saying, hey, go out there and vote as if it's me. They even brought John Gruden, and John Gruden looked like he was ready to go back and coach.

SPEAKER_3 (1:07)

And he almost dropped that chubby kid that just did Deadweight, which doesn't...

SPEAKER_2 (1:10)

Oh, that's Vivek, which I'm saying doesn't help.

Patrick Bet-David (1:12)

Gruden would be able to hang...

SPEAKER_4 (1:13)

I love Chucky.

Patrick Bet-David (1:14)

Yeah, and then you know what the third type of voter is? The type that's the down D, what do you call it?

SPEAKER_3 (1:19)

Down the ballot.

Patrick Bet-David (1:20)

Down the ballot voter.

SPEAKER_2 (1:20)

Voting R or voting D.

Patrick Bet-David (1:22)

Exactly, you know what the fourth type of voter is? The type of voter that wants to tell the world how excited they are to vote for you. How many do we have right now?

Let me say that one more time. If you want to crush the enemy, you need the fourth type of voters to come out, and Republicans don't have that right now. Republicans don't have that level of... I agree with you. Tell me to dream on who. Give me a candidate right now. The Republicans are excited about going out and telling the world about it. Go ahead, show me how they're door knocking. Show me how they're going campaigning.

SPEAKER_3 (1:51)

They had that in 2024 when Trump was making a comeback.

SPEAKER_2 (1:54)

Right now, that is Trump.

SPEAKER_3 (1:55)

Yeah, there's definitely a lack of energy in the base.

In my opinion, and I'll be to say it in 10 seconds, I'm energetic about stopping the left. That's what gets me fired up. You might have a different philosophy. I'm not waking up being like, let's go America. I'm like, the left is coming. This Islamist, Marxist, ridiculous, red-green alliance, that needs to be stopped. That's what galvanizes me.

Patrick Bet-David (2:20)

But that's why we do the podcast. That's why we started this company. We truly believe there's a real enemy, a long-term that's trying to confuse our kids.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

And as someone that used to be a Democrat, I look at that and say that is no longer the Democratic Party. That needs to be stopped.

Patrick Bet-David (2:34)

But if I was running the Republican Party, if I was running the Democratic Party, that's not enough.

They try to run against Trump being a bad man, and they lost to him twice. Once with Clinton, the other time with Kamala, and so they lost. Why? You have to be for something where you get the base excited. They got people pissed off. You need more than just being pissed off.

SPEAKER_4 (2:57)

You need product. You need candidates that are a product that someone's excited about. So Adam, I can have a terrible headache, but am I going to take Tylenol or am I going to take Advil? There's a brand relationship I have, and there's an enthusiasm. Oh my God, you have Tylenol? Thank you so much. And I want it. Now let's blow that up on an emotional level with your economy, your country, all the things we talk about. And guess what? There's no product on the shelf.
