(2,749 posts)AM hate/propaganda radio, Focksnooze and select websites produce a certain percentage of easily manipulated and exploitable castoffs. They ultimately believe that they are the true patriots and that their actions are noble. Republicans, the vermin that they are, use these castoffs to do their on-the-ground dirty work to advance their objective, inch by inch. Until they die or are arrested. It's a dirty game where the republicans are never associated directly with these people therefore, they can easily claim they had no knowledge of their planning or actions. Yet, they reap whatever benefits they may procure. They remain blameless and are safe. Their hands are clean. They just up the ante a bit more and once again, a new batch of exploited and manipulated castoffs go one step further.
Unless and until someone calls out the republicans for playing this dirty and dangerous game, our society, or what remains of it, will continue to crumble inch by inch. Because republicans know one certainty; as long as we allow the first amendment to be abused without consequences or responsibility, they will continue to encourage the seemingly never ending supply of the gullible and the exploited and manipulated castoffs.
