Excellent post, PatrickforB!

The bad guys do promotion and packaging very well. We need to, also.

MUCH more massive attention needs to be paid to perception management.

What bothers me most is that the bad guys have had decades of a head start on messaging strategies, while it feels as though our side is just waking up to it.

I might just join you in that!

Call it “the exclusive new whites-only resort”!

Aha! An at-large sperm donor.

I stand corrected, at least for this unsavory character.

Outstanding list! We should all keep a copy!

I’ve done a number of those activities. Canvassing is probably over, though. It’s been raining, and temperatures are dropping. I’m very conscious of NOT bringing some germs home to my husband. I’M the only germ allowed to get near him!

GREAT one!

Still as fresh and relevant as if it had been written 20 minutes ago.

Glad he's on OUR side!

Your local Indivisible group might be helpful.

Or your local Democratic Party. There’ll be people there who are plugged in, locally, and would be happy to help!

The sad part is in how many will just swallow that lie whole.

And without even thinking.

I remember when Pox Noise started. It struck me as a glitzy, shrewdly-packaged perception-management machine. I thought it was the beginning of the end. Feared it, to be more accurate.

Well, at least some of us realize it.

So what do we do about it?

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
