Chaos, Confusion, and Control

[kentuck]

If you want to create chaos and confusion, don't just rob one bank. Rob a hundred banks. Overwhelm their means to keep order and rule of law. Challenge the laws and those that are appointed to oversee them. Keep them off balance. When they are investigating one "big" crime, commit another crime that is even bigger. Degrade their enforcement agencies. Rules are made for "losers". Stay active with daily doses of propaganda.

Divide and conquer. Above all, divide and conquer. Find the differences and the weaknesses in a society and exploit them. Create political tribes. It's a means to an end. But what is the end?

I think people need to come together to defend this country. Democrats and Republicans must unite behind a common cause of protecting this country. It is something larger than Party.

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

2. I feel like I've been locked in a very small room with a raging, mean-spirited two year old brat.

Everything is "Me, me, me!" 24x7. If I were non-political I would GOTV just to get this fucker off the news.

3. People will get to choose which world they want to live in...

...after the election 14 months from now.

4. I hope enough of us vote so we can overcome the

right’s attempt to steal the election. My guess is they will be fighting harder than ever.

When I read things here like issues are more important than defeating trump I want to shake sense into that person.

Trump is trump because so many of us do not vote. Without being in power issues mean nothing.

5. The issues are important as a ways to re-assure people that good government will continue...

...it doesn't matter that Donald Trump is attempting to bribe Mitch McConnell in the public daylight. If Mitch doesn't suck up to him and prove he is an ally, he will cut $60 million dollar military grant for a school at Fort Campbell.

I learned something when I was stationed at Fort Campbell many years ago. The vast majority of the Post is in Tennessee. It just so happens that the Post Office was built in the state of Kentucky, just across the Tennessee line. Therefore the mail must be delivered to Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

But, it is not just Mitch McConnell and the state of Kentucky that will be affected.

10. Of course issues are important. But we can debate and win on issues if trump is gone.

If he remains we will have another 4 years of losing the ability to have issues. He has his people in every part of federal government.

12. I don't disagree...

It's hard to concentrate on much else when we are up to our asses in alligators.

7. The media has locked us into that small room. If we don't pay them (M$M) and try to look at other

sources (mainly overseas, some MSNBC) we aren't locked in and we deprive them of the advertising eyeball counts.

My news comes from a few aggregators (unfortunately including goolge) but I try not to click on links that go to a M$M site - if it involves the current crap-du-jour from the asshole/family/administration that stole the last election.

11. It's true, and has been with him for a while.

I had a sinking feeling he'd win as soon as he came down the escalator.

"Charisma" is a very powerful thing.

6. tRump is following putin's playbook. nt

[erronis]

8. Yup - putines and local oligarchs. Since the trumpies don't have any talent, they had to "rent" it

from the rUSSRians.

Not that those putinesques are all that smart, but they have shown themselves to be ruthless.

Not sure the trumpies understand that their value will be way in negative territory once they have destroyed the US.

9. need offense vs their most important and the only unique weapon they have- talk radio

artificial intelligence makes it easy, cheap to digitize talk radio - ad industry will do the work once they become aware of how easy it is for activists to record, transcribe, and list advertisers without hardly any listening required

it wouldn't take much activism for the ad industry to get the message it has to start asking radio ad clients if they REALLY want to support the global warming denial, racism, hate, and ignorance

RW has perpetuated the myth that the monopoly is a reflection of the market demand for hate and lies ---advertisers will head for the hills and many stations will have to change programming to stay alive

and it wouldn't hurt for students and communities to start protesting anything trump at the 88+ universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations
