This dumb bitch seems to think outright lying - when video shows a completely different story - is the way to go.
Using 1940s propaganda tactics when the internet exists
It's working. Republicans/MAGA are totally okay with anyone that doesn't like them being murdered. They're all enemies and should be approached as though they're dangerous.
MAGAts are a group of people you can fool all the time. Anyone else that isn't getting a boner for murder is likely to be appalled.
and 2020s internet is a shocking direct parallel to the nazi mass media mechanism in the 1930s and 1940s.
Russia's authoritarian playbook (which the current GOP administration is using) isn't about lying in an articulate way. It's about flooding the zone with excuses and lies such that the average person will choose to tune it out rather than to engage.
Can confirm. I've tuned it out. I can't anymore. I'm sorry. I choose happiness. It's pushing me further and further offline.
Offline? Good.
Complacent? Not good.
I'm sure that pointing out the narrative's glaringly obvious inconsistencies is going to land Russia in very hot water over the shoot down of that civilian airliner over Ukraine in 2014. Any day now. Any day now... Just one more "le epic debunk".....
I do think you're absolutely right. I know people doing exactly that — checking out — and it does seem like a common response. It is understandable, a lot of people just can't deal with all that garbage being firehosed into their faces, and the level of crazy ratcheting up through the ceiling. And that reaction of checking out is one of the intended effects of the strategy of "flooding the zone". Glad you pointed that out.
This is Trump's response 🤮
I mean, everything Some Fucking Idiot says is a lie, pretty much. But we absolutely know this one is a lie because there is no way he watched a video longer than five seconds that didn't include people shouting his praises.
Or molesting kids
He wasn't even touched by the car...
"Recovering in the hospital". What a fucking joke. Straight up 1984 telling you not to believe your lying eyes.
What a fucking clown fuck asshole
Disgusting... How deep America has sank...
Lol way too coherent to be Trump. Which sycophantic traitor wrote (or pasted from an LLM) this bullshit I wonder
So, I live here, it’s also 45 degrees today. I don’t think you can even get stuck in the snow today. Unless you’re not on pavement.
Not that the lies need to be pointed out, they’re obvious without that… but still.
It's all she's got, so she's going with it, carefully reading the statutes, so she can make sure she hits all her bullet points.
Bottom line: This a manufactured murder, meant to inflame the citizens, and become a rationalization for Martial Law, and suspension of the Midterm election. MAGA cannot lose the House majority, or else Democrats will have investigative powers, with full subpoena and arrest powers. They are unlikely to squander the opportunity this time, like they did under Biden.
So MAGA almost have to stop the election, and this is the start of it. We have never missed an election in this country, not even during the Civil War, so suspending this one, at this point in our history must be a BRIGHT RED LINE. If he invokes Martial Law, and suspends the election, it's the end of American Democracy, and it's Civil War.
~~Yes. That's one of the most striking things I got from the video, that the murderer went from getting out of his SUV to shooting his gun in just a few seconds, as though that was what he got out of his car to do.~~
~~Also, I have gun experience but not with automatics, so I don't know enough to say with certainty one way or another, but I did not see him disengage his safety, meaning that there is some non-zero chance he already had the safety disengaged when he got out of his vehicle.~~
All of your points are excellent, and you're right. We HAVE to avoid violent response -- for now -- if we do not want to speed up the destruction of what is left of our democracy.
EDITED to correct myself: I watched the video again and the shooter was already standing toward the hood of her car; the individual exiting the SUV I referred to above was not the actual shooter.
somehow, the DNC i cant trust them to not squander it. they only ever use as a campaign talking point and then drop the issue once in power, thereby achieving nothing. Plus the donors are both parties will insure nothing will happen. the only way things will change if there is more aoc, or bernie types in congress, not AIPAC SHIlls.theres at least 13 democrats in senate that is up for re-election this year, chuck shcumer is trying to shield them by using 8 sacrificial lambs that arnt up for re-election.
There are no circumstances which would allow for the suspension of elections.
Stop spreading BS. People can fight back today and vote out fascism when elections come around.
Jfc I can't believe anyone still clings to this hope.
Must be under 30 and/or failed History class.
Just do what you’re told and shut up, right?
If he told you to stop breathing, are you ready to comply with that so easily too?
Are you even human?
Did you just wake up, Rip Van Winkle? These people don't care about "mechanisms." WTF? If he wants to suspend elections, he'll do it, make up some cockamamie excuse, and every MAGA will buy it.
All he has to do is declare Martial Law, and he can do anything he wants, or at least he will feel that he can, and he will exploit that illegitimate power mercilessly. When we're under Martial Law, suspending elections will be the least of our problems.
I was also predicting that he would definitely attack Venezuela for their oil, and plenty of people disparaged me for that, too, and here we are. I've taken a lot of heat for many of my predictions that have come true over the last decade. It seems that many people still don't believe that Donald Trump is far worse than we even know, and that however bad we think he might behave, he will always surprise us, and be worse than we expected.
He's already been "joking," multiple times, that he thinks they should suspend the Midterm. We have already seen many, many times, that's how he floats an idea in advance, getting people ready for it. He's going to try to suspend the Midterm Election. He has to. His life and freedom literally depends on it.
The point is that elections are something that people can come together and have regardless of his will.
This is going to get violent sooner or later either way.
Elections are a state-managed process, and no Blue state is going to honor his suspension, and I'll bet quite a few Red states won't like it either, and defy that order as well. They have a lot more elections going on than Congressional Reps.
It will be an interesting and unique confrontation. And MAGA will likely lose the battle, and then they get desperate and dangerous.
That evil hag.
To be fair, it is the result of domestic terrorism. But pretty much the opposite of the way she means.
Look at those Twitter comments watching a video of the guy literally throwing himself in front of a moving vehicle, and agreeing she tried to run him over. Nevermind that we have idea why they were even demanding it in the first place.
All available evidence suggests she's correct (about lying, that is ... it's never stopped any of her MAGA superiors).
So far she, and her orange boss, have been correct about that
