Racial Hatred, Race Baiting & Even Racial War Is Key Strategy In November. On Super Steroids.

The GOP is pushing the idea that all Democrats are white hating. Pelosi and Hillary are the icons of this race baiting strategy. It is about out branding Democrats as pro gangs, terrorists, immigrants et all all of who will get the power in this country at the expense of whites. They will take your jobs, get your tax money, get favored treatment in all matters, etc etc. The frames of November are already set. Every permutation of racist will appear like never before. If you are openly racist and being chastised you are being treated unfairly.

Sowing distrust, fear and hysteria are now essential to staying in power. Nothing has changed with the racist GOP. And they have the Russians and the oligarchs like the Kochs, Petersons, Coors, et al on their side to shovel unlimited money. They are running on a "purge American" platform.

The GOP itself is a Russian asset.

regardless of color. Republicans need "some" to not vote all over but especially in key districts. so whatever resentments are predominant in those districts will be fed special messages.

And not just districts. Millions of individuals have been identified as vulnerable to deceptions and manipulation. And of course DU is a target. If vulnerable posters on social media are targeted at home, does anyone doubt DU's collection of Democratic voters is big enough for special attention?
