He's right in a specific way. When you highlight truth to the exclusion of other truths in a way that creates a false narrative, that's propaganda.

She talks about Clinton and points fingers and media elites. That's true. The problem is that said finger isn't pointed at other elites across the spectrum. This creates a narrative around the Clintons and "fake news", which reinforces already existing false narratives.

So this is true. It is a real event. She means what she says. But the scope isn't broad enough for it to be the whole truth and without the whole truth, this plugs into already existing lies.

Oh she didn't have a comprehensive list of the disgusting pedophiles while angrily ranting!

Poor Gen Xers, no one loved them enough to actually give them a name

Do you think it’s a coincidence that everything got super X-treme in the 90s? That JasonX was a movie marketed to gen-X’ers? That DegenerationX was the hot wrestling storyline? Hell, I remember hearing somebody say that gen-X was gen-X because “they love skateboarding and listen to nine inch nails.” It started out as a non-name but quickly became something else.

they're really accelerating all their horrific republican bullshit these last couple weeks.

As the child of Latin American immigrants this is actually like one of the least bad things he’s suggested.

poo poo’s incredibly violent and terrifying in Central America and Mexico and it’s ENTIRELY our fault. It’s basically the ISIS problem except that it’s been building since the 70s.

And the whole time we’ve basically gone “welp, sorry! Not our problem! But also please do something about all of these refugees that keep showing up in our country! We don’t really care what, just take care of it. K thx bye!”

For all of the media around the drug war and border war poo poo like Sicario, we’ve focused the overwhelming bulk of our attention domestically, using drugs and cartels as an excuse to oppress black and brown people at home.

Now obviously Trump and his circle of fascists are the last people you’d want running any kind of military or humanitarian campaign anywhere. But if I were the democrat president of the US, I’d strongly consider sending robust humanitarian and, yes, even military aid to places like Nicaragua or Honduras. It would be exponentially more valuable and useful than anything we’ve done in the Middle East.

Instead of just running guns and money to central American death squads, the United States can cut out the middleman and put leftists in mass graves themselves. What do you think happens to that military mission of mercy once another weak corporatist gets voted out for Trump II?

Dems won the House by 8.56% nationally last year.

They won Wisconsin 53.18% to 45.61%
They won Pennsylvania 55.03% to 44.75%
They won Michigan 52.33% to 44.65%
They won Arizona 50.37% to 48.66%

We're on the internet where we can reach just as large an audience as O'Keefe and other chuds. Everyone can keep bringing up that Epstein didn't kill himself while at yhe same time calling out chuds for being disingenous. If we want something to change we have to keep this story fresh because it won't realistically be tackled until after this election cycle. That is if Trump doesn't get reelected.

They know they're disingenuous. They don't care about facts or reality, you will not reach them.

Go ahead and try it some time. I agree that people should still be hammering on this story forever because it's atrocious but you're never ever going to get the chuds to admit that a single Republican ever was involved.

Kentucky teacher here. Voted for Beshear today. Typically leading up to elections, my left leaning friends are pretty quiet on social media but for this one it has been VERY different. I dunno if he’ll win as I sometimes fall prey to Nothing Matters but I sure as gently caress hope so. I attended one of the strikes in Frankfort with my coworkers, some of whom lean VERY far to the right. They all hate Bevin.

On our opening day this year, our superintendent announced that we will comply with our new state law saying all schools must post “In God We Trust” prominently in each school. This was met with great applause. Red meat for the base and it struck me as not a good sign for this election.

Also, due to those strikes in order for a teacher to use a sick day now we have to sign an affidavit and get it notarized. Clear retaliation by our Junior Trump Governor.
