(10,484 posts)media campaign to counter the RW propaganda that causes millions to believe lies that make them angry and promotes misunderstanding of what the US Constitution is and what it says in relation to various commonly considered issues.
The campaign I have in mind would, for instance, popularize the notion that no one should support for high office a candidate who, like Trump, knows nothing of our Constitution. It would promote a more reasonable idea of what makes someone a "patriot."
Some of the techniques RWers use to sell lies & hate could be used to sell Democratic facts and love.
It might not affect the radicals that article describes, but it would isolate them and make it impossible for extremist RWers to gain political power.
Though not focused on a particular candidate, it would benefit all Democrats who run for office and draw support away from RW Rs.
Yeah, I know it's a pipe dream. Even if such a program could be created, it would require massive funding. If billionaires who are Dems didn't greedily side with Rs on issues that might make them less obscenely wealthy, they could and would fund such a campaign.
