(1,085 posts)The radical right knows this: People hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest.
They have spent decades creating fear and hate and people will believe them no matter how false their charges because they have been led to believe their freedoms and way of life are under attack by the liberals and progressives. Facts dont mean a damn thing to fearful people..and the strategy is clear..create fear and then hold yourself up as the answer..
Until we get our own media outlets and start hammering them we will always be playing defense.
The President needs to start talking much tougher and creating his own fear as to what will happen if these people win....he needs to be more like Roosevelt and Truman and hit them hard. and ask the public to "send me some democrats"
They should be openly denounced as fear mongers and liars, never mind this "working together" crap...Guarantee they will squeal... but pigs always squeal when you step on their feet..
