My daughter and I were having a conversation earlier. She believes the left should not get into the mud slinging the right participates in. I say we have been in a propaganda war since tRump took office. Thoughts?? Comments???

We've been in propaganda wars ever since we began to communicate.

I think you would be 100% correct in your assessment. 😟

Excellent question....your daughter is focusing upon effective progressive goals unsullied by shitslinger TrumpOLINI.....propaganda is not fought with more and different propaganda.....incumbents words are on fire and we need to douse them with factual water electing replacements.....the demoRATs are in bed with the Rethuglicans for illegal wars in 160 countries..... don't fall for a 47 year war criminal because a 41 month war criminal is a confessed pussygrabber..... BidenS said he will shoot me in my leg when I protest he raped Tara Reade with his fingers in her vagina.... I already know TrumpOLINI will shoot me in the head ....

I say politics is a full contact sport, you've got to get down in the dirt with them and don't let them come up for air.

We have been in a propaganda war since Reagan.

True. But it has gone overboard with Drumpf in office.

@freeofgod Just brought to a logical end. Hopefully, this will be the end of it.

Reagan was definitely the beginning of the end of fairness; it was his crew that did away with The Fairness Doctrine… At one time (and likely still) the R’s had Eight ‘Think-tank’ oppositional research and propaganda organizations to the D’s one..

They have the money - and when in control - make sure more social responsibilities (taxes) and regulations (clean air & water) are cut for those who’ve sponsored them. They’ve played the long game and Propaganda’s paid big (at our expense)

Hillary spent all her time trying to defend herself from GOP/Trump smear rather than promoting her own agenda. They will do it again to Biden. Our only true defense is an offense, used in every war, which this will be. Drown Trump in every bit of his own slime, since he is very kind at providing it himself. Quote his lies so often that he loses track of which one he said last. But keep Biden on message and clean. Whatever Trump/GOP accusé Biden of doing, find out when and where Trump did it, because he surely did.

...been wanting to share something that struck me recently ..as to why ‘our side’ so often plays by the rules.. Out-spent, and incapable of funding the full-time propaganda ‘think-tank’ research of our opposition, we’re more often than not dependent on The Courts for justice.

With that, we’ve learned to be sticklers for accuracy… Every detail counts when presenting a case. So we aim for accuracy and purity ‘to win.’ Often, before the right judge, we have. But - we carry that over to the not-so-pure realm of politics - holding our candidates to the same level of ‘accuracy & purity.’ And since they ‘represent’ the people, not only themselves - they must navigate in a different manner..

We’re also educated, often well, thus are aware of the multiple nuances associated with most issues.. My hope for this nation has been it’s ever increasing number of college educated, but if ‘all that knowledge’ keeps them from seeing the forest ..for the trees … it’s going to remain extremely difficult to out-vote an opposition concerned with little more than ‘the three G’s’ (god guns & gays). They are motivated to vote ...as ‘our kind’ appear to throw tantrums over minutiae…

There ya go - Discussion 😉

No More High Road..

When it comes to corruption and other destruction to our government, I'm a mud-slinger from way back...

I think even if we don't sling mud, we can be A LOT more bold and aggressive in our attacks. Hire better ad agencies (Why isn't our stuff as slick as The Lincoln Project's? Have you seen Biden's PR pieces?). We don't have to make things up, do what the right does: hire good detective agencies and research firms. Play hardball.

It's not mudslinging if it's true.

No need to waste a penny on obvious TrumpOLINI crimes and BidenS can never escape from his lies and crimes ....so get busy like Lincoln who sent hundreds of telegrams to win the White House WWW.HOWIEHAWKINS.US peace through Green jobs

They go low, we go highthey win.. Holding ourselves to a crippling level of political correctness ..while the vile opposition obviously couldn’t care less who or what they elect to do their dirtywork isn’t working for us. They fight dirty and play hardball politics, we either match it, or reap more of the same.. Where’s that Good Guys finish 😕
