Trump's tweets are a deadly propaganda weapon against the Democrats.

[kentuck]

And they have done nothing about it for 3 years.

Most of the time, they aren't even disputed.

Is there nothing they can do?

He destroys the Democrats with his tweet attacks.

[rockfordfile]

1. No hahahahaha

[kentuck]

3. I think Nancy should create a Tweet Response Team.

to answer all his lies at a given time each day. At least, it would be something.

[spanone]

32. I'll second that!!!

[Maraya1969]

43. Look at the responses to Trump's tweet. They are mostly hate toward him.

He must not look at them. Maybe his handlers have not told him how to do anything but tweet because if he saw what people posted to him he would be very upset.



(I happen to be one of them often times)

[Demovictory9]

2. agree to some degree

[nolabear]

4. They?

We. All of us.

[kentuck]

6. I vote Democrat but I'm really not into the team cheerleading game.

Sorry.

[nolabear]

9. I'm not talking cheerleading. I'm talking working.

But if voting is all you do, that’s fine.

[kentuck]

10. Sorry, it sounded like "my Party, right or wrong"?

I don't think most of us would be here if we were not working for the Party. The "we/they" sounds like some sort of brainwashing?

[nolabear]

25. LOL--now I regret saying anything. No big thang.

This is how we all get into these “How dare they say that??” situations. I just meant it as a nudge. I wasn’t offended nor did I mean to offend.

[kentuck]

37. No never mind.

[MFM008]

5. and if you respond to him

and you say the same thing or post to many memes of the same type they throw you off
for 3 or 4 days. I know......
Yet they leave him to spew his shit because they are afraid of his little twetter followers.

[AncientGeezer]

7. Tweet back with truth...I do. He doesn't "destroys the Democrats..". That's nonsense.

His target is his base....42-45 %ish of the electorate....it's far from "deadly.." It's comical.

What would you propose to do about it....it's you post?

[kentuck]

8. The Party should respond specifically...

Not at random on Twitter, but organized responses.

[AncientGeezer]

20. You think we don't???? Really. Do you read it?

If that's your view....organize the responses...make that happen. You can start it if you feel the Democratic response is lacking.
Or..would you prefer censorship?

[guillaumeb]

11. Was 2018 one facet of this destruction?

Trump is a liar. I think most voters already know that.

[kentuck]

12. I don't know.

They did gain a vote in the Senate.

I hope voters know he is a "liar". I have not seen the evidence of that yet.

[guillaumeb]

14. 80% wanted an actual trial, with evidence and witnesses.

Trump needed a cover-up.

My opinion, and hope, I that 2020 will reflect that.

[kentuck]

15. That will only work if Democrats keep that up front in the voters consciousness.

In my opinion.

Doesn't say much about the low-intelligence voters, but I do not have a lot of faith in the American people anymore.

However, we will continue to hope.

[guillaumeb]

16. We might both agree that Trump will commit more impeachable offenses.

And the public is already aware of how Trump behaves.

[John Fante]

27. This is intellectual dishonesty. Democrats were defending far more seats in the senate.

They also crushed the Republicans in the house.

[AncientGeezer]

31. Yep.

[kentuck]

40. That's a good point!

I was hoping Democrats would take the Senate. Indeed, they did crush the Repubs in the House. Let's hope this trend continues....

[Newest Reality]

13. Now...

Combine them with a billion-dollar machine that is gearing up to roll over the virtual battlefield for the General Election like a division of Panzer tanks and you can see what the multiplier effect will be this time around.

What do you do about that? Well, know more about it and how it is going to work. Then, be more vigilant and less emotionally reactionary to what comes. It is going to take cool, calm and an insistence on facts, truth and clarity when it comes to the sheer amount of salvos that will come from the Trumpian blitzkriegs in store for us.

They see that this is going to be a definitive battle for tyranny against democracy, as should be obvious to most of us by know so it is not surprising just how much money and effort will be put into it and why it is going to be unlike any previous political event in this country. Be prepared.

[kentuck]

18. On any issue, especially if it can be tied to Democrats, Trump will seek to divide.

Pick any issue. He never seeks to unite the country.

The only issue he cannot successfully divide the people with is one of "right and wrong". He will not argue that facet of an issue.

[Hoyt]

17. Anyone stupid enough to believe trump's tweets, will not vote Democratic.

[kentuck]

19. Do you not believe that Twitter is a valuable strategy for him?

We should just ignore them?

[AncientGeezer]

21. It's valuable for us also....who said ignore?

Engage....robustly.
Not a hard concept to grasp.
Lazy will ignore.....activists will engage.

[kentuck]

22. Yada, yada, yada..

[AncientGeezer]

23. Post that on Twitter....that will be extremely helpful in countering the Dumpster tweets.

[kentuck]

24. If I were in the Congress, I would...otherwise..?

...why even get enmeshed in that jungle of insanity? There is little thought involved. Just fire away. Maybe someone will notice?

[AncientGeezer]

34. No one is going to notice your emojis or bitching on DU...Why do you have to be in Congress to twee?

Dumpster is going to Tweet...his base is going to love it and re-tweet it...it just is.
"The Squad" tweets, Speaker Pelosi Tweets, everybody tweets.
You want what exactly?
You want censorship don't you? Just say it.
Not emojis....not wishfullness....be honest about what you want.

[kentuck]

41. IMO, it's just a waste of time...

Sort of what I am doing right now...

Since you are very intuitive, perhaps you can tell us? Does Nancy really pray for Trump?

[AncientGeezer]

44. Did you read your OP before you posted it???

"Trump's tweets are a deadly propaganda weapon against the Democrats.

And they have done nothing about it for 3 years.
Most of the time, they aren't even disputed.
Is there nothing they can do?
He destroys the Democrats with his tweet attacks."

You posted that swill....can I remind you of the 2018 midterms....a historical ASS kicking of the House R's.............Democrats destroyed??? Speaker Pelosi I'm betting... would disagree with you.

[kentuck]

45. You must have miinterpreted my post about "waste of time"?

I was talking about the failure to carry on a rational conversation without some screed.

[AncientGeezer]

46. No..I really didn't...but keep telling yourself that if it helps.

[John Fante]

26. Trump's idiotic tweets are universally mocked

and provide an endless source of material for comedians. Democrats have a number of issues to be concerned with going forward, but Captain Covfefe's brainless musings on Twitter are not among them.

[kentuck]

30. Interesting opinion..

He has said a lot of inflammatory shit over the Twitter machine, if I recall correctly?

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.

"Captain Covfefe's brainless musings"

[Kurt V.]

28. Exactly right. he uses the same techniques perfected in other authoritarian regimes

[brewens]

29. Since twitter users tend to be younger, and younger people do not like Trump, it

doesn't look like the tweets are helping. His tweets show up elsewhere in the media, but he gets a lot of negative coverage there.

[kentuck]

33. I think he uses Facebook when he wishes to communicate more seriously with his devotees...?

I heard somewhere on the cable today that his followers only listen to what he says, for their news consumption, and do not listen to any of the "drive-by media"? He is their gospel.

Maybe it has no impact at all? Or overall, a negative impact? We don't know. His tweets can be very divisive, in my opinion.

[SWBTATTReg]

35. I can think of 3 people who could rep the democrats in responding to idiot's tweets...

Greta Thunberg

George Conway

Jeff Tiedrich

Idiot tweeter doesn't stand a chance against these 3 ... he's already tried and failed miserably.

[struggle4progress]

36. Most people know better than to believe his Pizzagate retweets and such. And those, who believe,

won't be convinced by contrary evidence. And those who push that crap, knowing full well it's garbage, will continue to push it, no matter what

Life is short. One thing we can learn from our internet experience is how to ignore trolls

Let's spend our time working for the country we want, instead of responding to bullshit

[ck4829]

38. And yet, they are posted here all the time

[ooky]

39. I don't think his tweets are destroying us. It is propaganda, but just on top

of other propaganda like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh which had already done a huge amount of damage to Democrats. I think emotional wedge issues Republicans have harnessed to their advantage like "taking away guns" and "abortion" and "socialism boogey people" are destroying us. Trump came in and added hate to it. The hate was always there, but he nurtured it and really brought it out. To Trump, he knew the hate inside people and used it like low hanging fruit. Tweets are just part of the wack-a-mole game we are playing by attempting to address propaganda.

[kentuck]

42. Excellent comment.

We cannot over-estimate the power of propaganda.

[dustyscamp]

47. We need our people to continually debunk all the Conjobs talking points

We also need to remind people the awful things Trump has done like historically shutting down the government for 35 days, making a mockery of our justice system, cruelly detaining and separating families that were only looking for asylum in America. We need to make Repugs look like monsters and not cool to normal people.
