This is a major problem with wingnut media - it drips its poison and normies have no idea how bad it is MMA had a piece a while back on Bongino who i had barely heard of - yet his reach is startling - more than 10m people - and he is spewing pure fascism Add together Fox, Shapiro, Quisling, Bongino, Banno, Charlie Kirk etc etc its a lot of eyeballs Then add the fascist adjacent stuff from the culture wars like Musk, Brogan, Peterson yada yada yada
Remember before the '16 election it was discussed on here the woman who was posting about Clinton's guillotines? We dismissed it as bonkers. Then after the election we found out millions of Americans had been getting into the pizzagate conspiracy stuff and believed hilary drank babies blood or whatever That is the problem - this stuff is not for us, so flies beneath the radar
Some say ignore it but u really can't. If the battle is for the 20-25% who somehow can still be swayed, you have to debunk & ridicule using facts. Why I think having a younger, take no BS Dem leader like Hakeem is awesome.
I had heard of The Turner Diaries in the 80's but I never over estimated how influential it or William Pierce was.
I swear, I'll go to my grave wondering why libs don't fight fire with fire. The truth about conservatives and centrists is bad enough on its own, but if we were to start lying about them the way they lie about us, things might get even more interesting. Frankly, I'm tired of the Dems having to be the grownups all the time, for no reward. Let this shit get sideways for real.
We don't have to lie. In your own state conservatives ran someone for political office who spent his off time trolling shopping malls for underaged girls. PS: I would have loved to see this incorporated in an opponents campaign commercial.
He was told to stay out the mall. With that info going public, he lost by 1.5%. We probably DO need to make shit up
That he impregnated those same underaged girls and used the aborted fetuses that he fathered to make smoothies?
He was well known around here (Taos) in the early mid-80's as an apologist for the redder parts of the Sandanista movement. At least I think its the same guy. I found his screeds not altogether convincing, but I was already arguing with neighbors that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, and was already suspicious of Ortega. (People from here were coming and going from Nicaragua trying to help with the transition in their society, and the issue was quite lively.) I saw Greenwald as looking for imposed solutions in Nicaragua, and he seems to have gone farther in that direction since...
Villa do Foda e descubra: The sentence was coined by former President Jair Bolsonaro, who even used the radical slogan in his presidential campaign. People who didn’t vote for Mr. Bolsonaro now question Bolsonaristas’ double standards regarding respect for human rights. pic.twitter.com/NQKi69WJJv— The Brazilian Report (@BrazilianReport) January 10, 2023 🚨 VIDEODespite the violent riots at public buildings in Brasília, some far-right groups that were arrested question why they ended up locked up. “We are innocent,” they say, regardless of the slew of evidence showing otherwise. pic.twitter.com/OX1eaO0kP5— The Brazilian Report (@BrazilianReport) January 10, 2023
We just need to get better at leading the media around by the nose. Conservatives have excelled at that for decades.
Obviously there’s a lot of overlap or else Trump would have gotten 100 million votes. I wonder just how much. I wonder whether the consumers of fascist propaganda are a relatively small number of addicts who watch for 5 hours a day, or a larger number of dilettantes, people who dip their foot into and out of the pool.
There's an even larger number of people who don't need any of these shills to tell them to despise the other and that the world is a zero sum game where you win by making others lose. They walk through their life with that certain knowledge. If they ever do lose,that is when they turn to Glenn and Sean and Dan and Jordan and Andrew and all the rest.It confirms what they believe.It assures them their failure is not their fault,that shadowy forces are aligned against them.
It amazes me that after all this time the left still fails to understand God’s grace and the concept of forgiveness. As long as you commit to voting GOP party line, all sins are forgiven. It’s in the Bible…read it.
Are you thinking that the code for each vote would need to be manually looked at? When it is all code, somebody can write a debugging-type script and check every machine. It is much easier than hand counting.
No. You would check the source code for vote entry, processing and recording which is a routine that repeats every time a vote is entered. Also you'd check the routine that prints the results recorded and also the one that sends the results to the central server.
