They are planning on running on bigotry and hatred again.

Watch out for these tactics.

1. Creating anger against the Black Lives Matter Movement. Whether they make a big deal about kneeling at an NFL football game, or complaining about Maxine Waters, they are stirring up racism.

2. Creating anger against immigrants and attempting to portray them as criminals. i.e. Travel ban and Horrific border law implementation.

3. Creating anger against the Me Too Movement by using Al Franken as a tool to fuel up anger.

4. Protect the NRA by attempting to portray Democrats as pro-criminal, pro-crime.

We need to knock down this propaganda every chance we get. And it's not just Republicans who will be pushing it.

Russia would like nothing more than to stir up dissention in the United States and they will aid and abet them.

We also need to be aware of idiots who claim to be on the left, i.e. tinfoil hat wearing idiots who lean left but fall for this propaganda time and time again. i.e. Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein.

1. It has never stopped.

It's been going on for 40 years.

2. No doubt.

The mood of the country and the actions of some have been making it uglier.

It's almost certain that we are on the verge of another Civil Rights Movement.

There's a huge culture clash that is boiling up.

The biggest question is, when will allies wake up and recognize what is happening.

3. Unfortunately, it's a winning formula for them.

Plain and simple, it works. I have guys in my union who are super Тяцмреяs and it’s because they love the racism, the shit talking, the name calling and “triggering the libs”. They have the mentality of high school bullies and callous thugs. And it’s not just a few of them. They are utterly ignorant of policy issues and act on pure emotion.

Between these types, the gerrymandering, the vote suppression, election fraud and the Russians, who haven’t been stopped even a little, we’ve got a major problem on our hands. And if we don’t win in November for whatever reason, it’s bye bye America forever.

4. Our anger will beat their bigotry and hatred every day

We are angry about the damage they are doing to our country. We are angry about the pain they are causing immigrant families who are being separated. We are angry about the fear people who have pre-existing conditions feel as they wonder if they will have health insurance next week. We are angry about the racism they have unleashed. Our anger isn't personal. It's calm and calculated and will give us the energy to chase them back to the dark places they crawled out of.

5. Bannon flat-out said that . . .

fear and rage were the best motivators. And that's the exact strategy that the Trumpster is using. Division, bigotry, hate and fear all work for him and he uses it every time he conducts one of these hateful, cult-like rallies.

Dems need to push back, immediately, consistently, define ourselves and tamp down the storm of lies.

But we also need to stress the merits of a democratic system of governance vs a strongman/one-man rule. The latter is what the Trumpster and his enablers are selling; there's no mistaking it now. They've managed to push through the door and can't wait to blow the roof off. After, this is, they've set everything within the system--the press, the courts, The Rule of Law, etc.--ablaze.

The kindling is hot and crackling. And the Trumpsters are fanning the flames like crazy.

Our opportunity to put the fire out is coming. We have one shot and we dare not miss.

Because if we do? All bets are off.

6. Since it worked so well in 2016. Why mess with a winning formula?
