He's going to lean in to culture war the more threatened he feels and it will get far far uglier.

1. English as the official language and sharia bans can't be far behind nt

5. I know, right?

If that tape exists, please let it 'leak' soon!!!

[Oubaas]

6. Yep!

This is exactly where we're headed.

Stand by to be appalled. You haven't even imagined the nefarious wonders that are coming.

7. By the book employment of the simple, widely

employed classic propaganda techniques, pretty much gleaned from the father of modern marketing, Edward Bernays:

Alfred M. Lee and Elizabeth B. Lee classified the propaganda devices into seven major categories:

(i) name-calling
(ii) Glittering generalities
(iii) transfer
(iv) testimonial
(v) Plain-folk
(vi) Card-stacking
(vii) Bandwagon.

Each of these devices makes an appeal to feelings rather than to reason. They rest upon the premise that emotion or feeling has certain strategic advantages over the appeal to reason. These propaganda devices need not be used singly; they are usually employed in combination.

So easy to use on a gaggle of ignorant, hateful rubes, so insecure they need a scapegoat for their loserdom

Then comes a carnival barker who promises them a panacea that only the most benighted mark would swallow

Too bad there were tens of millions

The ones who weren't fooled are the same
ones who fooled mostly the same crowd of suckers since reconstruction

Only the sophistication of the messaging has changed

Fwiw, Bernays was the nephew of Freude

8. Why not ban all gays and all women from the military?

Come on Crooked Trump, do it!
