He argued that the party has historically stirred divisive issues related to culture wars and racism but\u200d has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/canadas-saskatchewan-province-to-end-covid-vaccine-passport-mask-requirements\/\" title=\"Canada&#039;s Saskatchewan Province to End COVID Vaccine Passport, Mask Requirements\">recently shifted<\/a> its messaging to\u2062 focus on more pressing matters like the economy and healthcare. Peterson referred to \u2062this shift \u200bas &#8220;classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-stop-apologizing-to-the-cancel-culture-mob\/\" title=\"WALSH: Stop Apologizing To The Cancel Culture Mob\">manipulative behavior<\/a>,&#8221; asserting\u200d that \u200dthe Democrats have \u2062not fundamentally changed their \u200dpositions or tactics. He highlighted Harris&#8217;s recent\u200c reversals on\u200d several policies, including her stance \u200bon fracking and border security, claiming these changes \u2064reflect a successful rebranding strategy to \u2063appeal \u2064to a broader electorate. In his view, the extent of public manipulation by the party is significant, demonstrating a profound and complex level \u200cof deception in contemporary politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jordan Peterson rebukes Democrats for &lsquo;classic&rsquo; manipulation ahead of election<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1732423\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Psychologist Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jordan-peterson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jordan Peterson<\/a> argued that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democratic Party<\/a> is manipulating the public with its rebrand and that of Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a>, the party&rsquo;s 2024 presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Peterson explained that the party has spent years &ldquo;constantly prodding and poking&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prince-harry-hired-as-chief-impact-officer-for-mental-health-start-up\/\" title=\"Prince Harry Hired As \u2018Chief Impact Officer\u2019 For Mental Health Start-Up\">topics related<\/a> to culture wars and racial division with their policies.

He noted that the party has long been engaged in stirring up cultural and racial issues through its policies. With Harris stepping into Biden&#8217;s role, Peterson believes they are shifting away from these contentious topics to focus on &#8220;important issues&#8221; like the economy and healthcare. He described this behavior as a classic example of manipulation during an appearance on Fox News\u2019s One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, stating that if people think this new messaging reflects a genuine change, they are deeply mistaken. He emphasized that the Democrats have not fundamentally changed their stance or rid themselves of those who promoted diversity and equity initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks since Biden announced he would not seek reelection in 2024, Harris has altered her positions on several issues, including her previous opposition to fracking and her newfound commitment to border security\u2014an area long championed by Republicans. Peterson remarked that the Democratic Party has successfully rebranded Harris but warned that such large-scale public manipulation is a significant skill set being employed at an unprecedented level. He expressed disbelief at how easily people seem to accept these changes without questioning them.<\/p>\n<p>Recent polling indicates that Harris holds a slight edge over former President Donald Trump by four percentage points (49% to 45%), based on data collected from August 9-13 with a margin of error of two points.
