That is the main GOP strategy for the past 30 years. "Catapulting the propaganda"

They have had the infrastructure in place, from RW propaganda radio 24/7 across the nation, to Fox News, OAN, Facebook, 4chan, etc, etc....They know most of their base are low information morons.
How did they get their base to blame Obama for the 2008 crash and 9/11 on Clinton.
Easy........deliberate propaganda, and it works quite well.

Scaring and manipulating people leaves a scared and paranoid populace-stressed, and on a hair trigger from the imaginary threats propagandized. Guns are the a solution people seek for that threat. Doesn't cure ignorance and doesn't really make you safer.

They accuse their Dem opponent of whatever they are guilty of, and it confuses the feeble minded.

In 2004 republicans spent a year accusing Kerry of not being heroic enough for his 5 Vietnam medals, so that they could re-elect a guy who went AWOL from a stateside guard post that his dad got him.

Trump probably saw his Russian mob ties as a vulnerability, so he coined the phrase "crooked Hillary" and spent a year leading "lock her up" chants.

Now Trump is a failed president, so of course they are going to fault Biden for not finding a way to do Trump's job for him as a random private citizen.

This one might be dumb enough that even Fox viewers find it fishy (although that's a pretty high bar).

Even if it was a stupid attempt at sarcasm, he said both, "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a voter" AND "I love the poorly educated" after winning the Nevada primary in 2016.

Now if that does not relay contempt for his own base, then I don't know what else it would take.

If a Democratic Candidate had said either of those things, their candidacy and likely political career, would be over. That is because Democrats/Liberals/Progressive respect ourselves and demand better.

I have said at least a few times, that Donald Trump chose the Republican Party for a reason. He had affiliation with the Democratic Party in the past. He knew the Clintons and was at least amicable with the Democratic establishment of New York.

He chose the Republican Party because he knew that he had NO CHANCE IN HELL of ever becoming dog catcher, let alone the presidential nominee for the Party. Look at what we did to Bloomberg, who while his policy positions are pretty bad, Bloomberg himself is nowhere near as horrific as Trump as a person. Trump IS the Republican Party now.

I am so sick and tired of Rethuglicans and the constant lies, projections, and gaslighting. Damn. And the drooling gullible of Trumpistan will eat it up. I heard one of the geniuses complain that Obama didn't do enough about 9/11. When it was pointed out to Mr. Trump Voter that Obama was an Illinois state senator in 2001, the response was that it didn't matter--Obama needed to do more.

Ronna and her $$$ buddies know just how dumb and gullible their base is.

He's maintained social distance and abided by all recommended hygienic measures. He has counseled those who are listening to his message to do the same.

Whereas, both private citizen Trump and President Trump have failed themselves and the American people in the message he conveys and the lies that underlie the message.

The only people who believe this shit are the hopelessly lost souls. Independents must see this and cringe.

Vice President Biden WARNED the American people in an oped in USA Today in January! Not to mention creating a functioning pandemic response team and plan he and President Obama left Mango Mussolini who dismantled it for no good reason other than it was Obama’s. So I’d say he’s done a hell of a lot more to protect the American people than Agent Orange who, by contrast, has suppressed a competent federal response to punish blue states, suppressed vital medical information, and openly encourages people to sicken themselves and die through behaviors he promotes. No amount of rank psychotic propaganda by this dimwit drone can change that reality.

It appears that President Biden really screwed up on the Covid-19 response! Oh wait. No, that would be President Woodward. Wait once again.

The White House's current resident is the guy with a dead ferret on his head, the guy who plays golf while Americans die and continuously trash talks Covid and everything else.

You mean that guy, Ronna? Your guy, Ronna. He refers to himself as POTUS although I admit the idea would be laughable if it wasn't so disastrous.

Donald Trump is 100% accountable for the complete mismanagement of our Covid-19 response. Deflection doesn't work this time.

Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party owns this.

Get use to it, sweetie. Because we're coming for all of you.

Trump lied. Americans died.

49. Obama/Biden developed a pandemic playbook that was completely ignored
Sun Sep 13, 2020, 07:21 PM
Sep 2020

Back then the Trump admin decided to blame "foreigners" as if a travel ban was going to do anything to stop the pandemic. The dumbest deplorables are still on that train. Racism against Asians was the official plan back then because they thought the virus would mostly impact big cities full of Democrats.

So deplorables encouraged racism against Asian-Americans who have never traveled to China over slightly inconveniencing white Americans traveling home from hotspots in China, Italy, South Korea, and others. Whenever anyone talks about Chinatowns in SF or NY, they are talking about race, not people who have traveled recently through international airports.

Travel ban for foreign citizens does nothing to stop American citizens from bringing the virus here, or spreading it around to others. The pandemic response plan called for test/trace/quarantine.

So the wildcard that nobody in the administration expected was that Dem governors took action to stop the spread in blue states while GOP governors decided on a do nothing approach and it is now spread throughout southern and midwestern red states. Blaming "foreigners" or Asians or whoever doesn't work now that sunshine and warmth hasn't stopped it in the sun belt. God hasn't stopped it in the bible belt.

The book was left in the hands of their successor. What happened after that is nobody's fault but Chump's. We know for a fact that the President's pandemic response book was thrown out on Day One. Nothing ever replaced it - not even now, 3.8 years later.

Joe Biden and Barack Obama did their jobs. What about Chump? He's lying, shirking and projecting blame as usual.
