The multimedia campaign has started

News media is already attacking Democrats as divisive and blaming them for saying mean things about Mango Mussolini.

I keep an account active on Threads, that has, unequivocally, devolved into a rightwing, bot filled, clusterfuck not that different from Twitter. Which is why I use it to have an insight into what Republican messaging is on any given day.

As of this morning I noted a sharp uptick in Republican activity. It is heavily filled, I mean flooded, with bots attacking Democrats as being responsible for all the hate and vitriol towards Republicans and especially toward poor little Mango Mussolini.

It's, very literally, the exact same messaging from Dana Bash on CNN when she attacked Democrats.

This is what I mean. This was a planned. In less than 24 hours Republicans have turned this "incident" into a full blown multimedia campaign against Democrats for their rhetoric and efforts to block dear leader's agenda as the reason the attacks are happening and the economy is bad.
They are literally mouthing the same words.

Democrats have not faced a media campaign of this size, across this many different platforms, as we are now. Especially with CBS and CNN now mobilizing as a weapon against Democrats, it's going to be a lot to overcome.

There is always a far right bot cannon ready to fire on these SM sights but when its it immediately backed up with harsh questions for the left (which is becoming far to common) than to the right on Sunday shows, it raises eyebrows. Especially how concise and speculative lacking facts the questioning has been. I'll just say, IMO, it seems very scripted. But then when he started bombing Iran, it was like they were ready with the BS cannon. Whatever it was, I think it was a setup, I do not trust ANYTHING that these people say.

They all thought their sorry asses were in the kill zone, and they now identify with their tormentor, Trump. "Heated rhetoric" from the Democrats against Trump is what they claim caused their lives to be put in danger.

Fuck them.
