The GOP is micromanaging the narrative for their base. Talk about a nanny state!

[applegrove]

I'm just saying. What is more nannylike than directing the emotions of other human beings.

1. I think it's required since none of them are capable

of formulating a cognitive thought on their own or saying something that offends half of their base at any given time.

[okaawhatever]

2. C'mon share with the class. What are some examples? nt

3. Are you kidding? 1)Birthers (the black man is not like you you are the real america

so don't make a connection to Obama as president he really isn't or the Southern Strategy may not work for us again).

2)Regulations (you are independent americans who don't need to be coddled by government even though many of you are poor and voting against your best interests....you can't put a price on how often we call on your rugged individualism)

3)Railroads Agree To Wide-Ranging Safety Measures For Crude Oil Shipments After Derailments

Railroads get out in front of regulation that was imminent in order that the narrative that government can regulate safety issues as the need occurs is muted



Anything really.

[okaawhatever]

4. I thought something had happened recently. I agree with you, I just thought there was another

excellent example of their hypocrisy.

5. I added the railroad regulation example from yesterday to the thread. You are correct

that that is what got me thinking about narratives and the GOP trying to control 'reality' to a point where their base, or anyone who is naïve, buy the bullshit to the extend it is their everything.
