And it's not working

It did for decades, when the notion of "evil Democrats" and "evil libruls" was confined to talk radio and FOX news. They could say whatever wild ass shit they wanted and listeners could either agree or just tune it out. But it helped GOPers get voters.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
