16. Expect the negativity

they'll do whatever it takes to diminish the "Warren Effect"...to make us doubt not just this particular move, but Warren herself.
They first must "softly destroy" Warren lest it raise any alarm. It begins subtlety, then the volume is slowly turned up.

It is my belief: They know our psyche's well. We've been studied for decades. They understand our "buttons".

The good news for me: I doubt Warren will tolerate that. The question is, will "we" collectively stand solidly behind her (and other progs) no matter What "they" throw at us? Because remember Money Screams and Intimidates and then Wins.

WE must learn to Recognize, Isolate and Ignore the influence of Money from All angles! We can recognize, ignore and rebut their spoken BS-Why the hell can't we get the rest of it down?
I never watched or read a single piece of propaganda these last 4 elections.
Educate. Educate. Educate.
Not everyone has the time and even the means to stay current. Those who do understand, need to help those who don't/can't, understand whats going on, imo.
