It refers to the claim that President Obama set up Michael Flynn and was behind the "fake" Russia meddling investigation.

Because you know, when we were criticizing President Obama about not coming out more strongly about Russian interference? Well, now the right wing idiots are saying that President Obama orchestrated the whole Russia investigation.

Which sounds like (if this psycho is actually tipping anything real) his people are going to create LIES about “Obamagate” (?) and how Joe Biden was (gasp!) front-and-center for all of it. O, the HUMANITY!!1!

What an asshole, and what a crock.

much of it does, to his 'supporters.'

Dems need an effective 'propaganda' strategy, the right words spoken and written by the right people. Do we have such?

as Obamagate and that it is the worst thing ever.

We are in a war, the GOP wants you dead. They want me dead, they do not care about the truth anymore, AT ALL.

If we dont figure this out and fast, we will die.

We do need an effective response to the bullshit. I think that we need to be more aggressive and attack Trump relentlessly. If possible we need to see what the right wing idiots are talking about and preempt it. Something like, "Oh in the next couple of days Trump is going to attack Michelle Obama for putting poison in the White House Garden" and debunk before it gains traction even on the right wing.

I don't know really. Just spit balling.
