2 simple things we can all do to win our country back

1) Everybody recruit just one voter who didn't vote in the last election. (Bonus if you can convert a Trump voter)

2) From now on constantly refer to Fox News as "Government News"

We have 4 years to do these two incredibly easy things... If we do them, we win!

Wouldn't calling it government news give it credibility in people's minds? Perhaps calling it fake news would be more effective.

Straight up fucking propaganda.

I said something about people being conned to a family member the other day. I said, "even you! Remember? You told me that there we're going to be death panels and massive unemployment. Never happened. Pelosi was going to seriously raise taxes and give the $ to people who don't want to work. Didn't happen. The Democrats were going to outlaw guns. Didn't happen. When are people going to change the channel on the people who keep lying to them? " Crickets. Which meant a light was flickering upstairs somewhere.
