This dumb bitch seems to think outright lying - when video shows a completely different story - is the way to go.
Russia's authoritarian playbook (which the current GOP administration is using) isn't about lying in an articulate way. It's about flooding the zone with excuses and lies such that the average person will choose to tune it out rather than to engage.
Can confirm. I've tuned it out. I can't anymore. I'm sorry. I choose happiness. It's pushing me further and further offline.
I do think you're absolutely right. I know people doing exactly that — checking out — and it does seem like a common response. It is understandable, a lot of people just can't deal with all that garbage being firehosed into their faces, and the level of crazy ratcheting up through the ceiling. And that reaction of checking out is one of the intended effects of the strategy of "flooding the zone". Glad you pointed that out.
I'm sure that pointing out the narrative's glaringly obvious inconsistencies is going to land Russia in very hot water over the shoot down of that civilian airliner over Ukraine in 2014. Any day now. Any day now... Just one more "le epic debunk".....
Using 1940s propaganda tactics when the internet exists
It's working. Republicans/MAGA are totally okay with anyone that doesn't like them being murdered. They're all enemies and should be approached as though they're dangerous.
MAGAts are a group of people you can fool all the time. Anyone else that isn't getting a boner for murder is likely to be appalled.
and 2020s internet is a shocking direct parallel to the nazi mass media mechanism in the 1930s and 1940s.
It's all she's got, so she's going with it, carefully reading the statutes, so she can make sure she hits all her bullet points.
Bottom line: This a manufactured murder, meant to inflame the citizens, and become a rationalization for Martial Law, and suspension of the Midterm election. MAGA cannot lose the House majority, or else Democrats will have investigative powers, with full subpoena and arrest powers. They are unlikely to squander the opportunity this time, like they did under Biden.
So MAGA almost have to stop the election, and this is the start of it. We have never missed an election in this country, not even during the Civil War, so suspending this one, at this point in our history must be a BRIGHT RED LINE. If he invokes Martial Law, and suspends the election, it's the end of American Democracy, and it's Civil War.
~~Yes. That's one of the most striking things I got from the video, that the murderer went from getting out of his SUV to shooting his gun in just a few seconds, as though that was what he got out of his car to do.~~
~~Also, I have gun experience but not with automatics, so I don't know enough to say with certainty one way or another, but I did not see him disengage his safety, meaning that there is some non-zero chance he already had the safety disengaged when he got out of his vehicle.~~
All of your points are excellent, and you're right. We HAVE to avoid violent response -- for now -- if we do not want to speed up the destruction of what is left of our democracy.
EDITED to correct myself: I watched the video again and the shooter was already standing toward the hood of her car; the individual exiting the SUV I referred to above was not the actual shooter.
Source?
For what? The fact that they'd have investigative powers? That's the Constitution.
That they are unlikely to squander the opportunity this time? That's personal speculation, but I doubt a Democratic House is going to sit still this time. They don't have a president in office to protect, for one thing.
This is Trump's response 🤮
I mean, everything Some Fucking Idiot says is a lie, pretty much. But we absolutely know this one is a lie because there is no way he watched a video longer than five seconds that didn't include people shouting his praises.
Or molesting kids
He wasn't even touched by the car...
"Recovering in the hospital". What a fucking joke. Straight up 1984 telling you not to believe your lying eyes.
That evil hag.
So, I live here, it’s also 45 degrees today. I don’t think you can even get stuck in the snow today. Unless you’re not on pavement.
Not that the lies need to be pointed out, they’re obvious without that… but still.
Look at those Twitter comments watching a video of the guy literally throwing himself in front of a moving vehicle, and agreeing she tried to run him over. Nevermind that we have idea why they were even demanding it in the first place.
