(6,916 posts)Look at the Robert Reich thread. The GOP has sold its soul to racists. And Republican strategists KNOW the racist-billionaire coalition is a minority in the country.
Thus, they have to cheat to win. And they have big money on their side. Get ready for a huge social media troll and propaganda push funded by GOP billionaire money.
The billionaires know 2018 is critical for them. They MUST win or the Dem-subpoena-power investigations in the House will sink their party. Probably forever.
And there is a lot of Republican billionaire money floating around out there.
So recognize GOP propaganda when you see it- posters looking to incite despair and get Dems to give up, posters looking to divide Dems on any issue possible: Bernie, Hillary, race, Pelosi. And reply. If the bigger enemy is the GOP, say that.

There was talk of "forever" or at least a generation to rebuild the GOP brand after Watergate. How long was that generation? 4 years of Jimmy Carter, and they were back in the White House.
Money, especially great gobs of soft money like they can command, smooths over a LOT of rough.

Our grandparents did it before. Obama knew it and started. Hillary was going to continue and rev it up, but they defeated us that time. Our party officials of course know it. It's our job.
We're it. There's no one else.
