Strategy memos obtained by Rolling Stone from a "variety of conservative candidates and organizations" urge changing the topic and letting the news cycle change following the latest string of mass shootings in America.

"Stay cool. Run out the clock. Scare some gun nuts while you can. But don’t worry: this moment will be over soon," is how the magazine summarized the guidance.

A memo for a top GOP Senate candidate urged them to "ignore guns, talk inflation."

"Other documents predictably decried liberal desires for 'gun-grabbing' and 'gun confiscation,' and made whataboutism-type references to gun violence in Chicago," the magazine reported.

Sounds about as brilliant as the NRA calling their supporters hillbillies.

1. The gun nuts WANT to be scared, or at least to appear scared

You can't hold a person accountable for detestable actions if he's scared. Cops use that excuse all the time for blowing away unarmed people they don't want to deal with.

2. The GOP will increase the gun violence.

The GOP will continue to arm white males who act as GOP foot soldiers.

It is a way to terrorize and control the populace into compliance, being docile and accepting of the GOP power plays.

3. The gun lobby loves mass shootings

and the overwrought histrionics of gun-grabbing fearmongering that follows. It makes gun sales go through the roof.

4. So they're using inflation as a distraction against the gun issue.

Strange how these politicians haven’t figured out that most of us already know that our world is complicated and requires multi-tasking.

We are nothing to them.

9. Kick & recommend for visibility. "This moment

will be over soon”. No it won’t; the pain and scars will haunt those families forever.
Of course you have to human in the first place to understand that.
