Keep it simple! A LEADER OR A LIAR.

The “debate” was not a debate. Without real-time fact checking it was a lie fest (half of it, anyway)

The context:

The dumf— had nothing rational to bring.
All he could do was lie (unchecked), distort, divert and discredit the proceedings. Totally predictable.
Old engineering motto: If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with bullshit.
Saw this coming weeks ago.

...

A debate without instant fact checking is like

A. A game without referees.
B. A gang war.
C. A car without brakes.
D. Trimming your nails with a chainsaw.
E. All of the above.



HOW AND WHY
Repugs and trolls will use every opportunity to divide us,
JUST LIKE WINTHORPE AND VALENTINE.
Until they realize that they’ve both been had, and determined:




The aim of the RW is to Deflect, Deny, Divide, Divert, Discredit, and more.
They jumped on ”personality politics” to hide their “welfare for the wealthy” agenda.
They jumped on “identity politics” to get people to act in their own worst interest.
AN OBFUSCATION SENSATION!

NOW, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY (Thoreau)

The simple message, pretty obvious in real time, and verified by fact checkers A DAY OR SO LATER, is

HE’S GOT NOTHING BUT LIES
HE IS NOTHING BUT LIES
YOU GET LIES OR YOU GET THE PRIZE.


Now, LET’S KICK SOME ASS.
