Do you think Don the Criminally negligent Con is watching

ReTHUG Steve Schmidt on Morning JoeScum? Bardella is going after the entire ReTHUG party

1. Choking on his McMuffins.

2. But Bardella is right

The Thug Party has mastered messaging, boiling down issues to 2-3 letter slogans which reach people. Dems are always weak on messaging. Dems and Biden need to get this straightened out and soon.

Schmidt’s trump comments are nearly always epic and, more important, accurate.

[mopinko]

3. yeah, how can this party not have better writers?

4. it's not so much we are weak on messaging. complex issues are not

black and white. Authoritarians don't want to put the effort into critical thinking. It's a real conundrum. We are often our own worst enemy.

[PatSeg]

8. Yes

and I tend to find short, simplistic messaging insulting and redundant.

[malaise]

10. THIS

[ananda]

7. Disagree.

Dem messaging is just fine.

Rightwing media is the problem, mainly due to the
loss of the Fairness in Media provision in the late
80's or early 90's.

11. +1! Bingo!

We can never get most of our problems solved until we address this media issue and end campaign donations, Super PACs, revolving door...

Trump/Republican followers are literally programmed like cult members. Every single day of the Obama admin they railed on him. They are steeped in this shite!

[FakeNoose]

12. The Fairness Doctrine is gone for good

It will never come back, and we have to find a way to move forward. If you want to know the truth, younger generations have no idea what it even was. The important thing is to teach our kids and grandkids critical thinking skills so they can combat against the propaganda of the ultra-conservatives. Not enough of us are doing that!

5. The GOP is the American Mafia.

6. ReTHUGs don't care, they already stole it all and sold us down river

The right to pollute must have seen some serious cash change hands. That's worth Trillions to international businesses. Not to mention oil drilling rights, federal lands. Perps should do life behind bars. And we can't even find a way to reverse the larceny!

9. I think he watches

pretty much every morning. That is why Joe talks directly to Trump. Trump claims he isn't watching, but then he responds to something that is said on the show via Twitter.
