What Trump and the right excel at

[cilla4progress]

Is propaganda. Both propagandizing - e.g., organized religion - and being propagandized. It is a power source for them.

I don't see progressives ever cottoning to this.

1. They excel at lying

Truth is consistently their enemy.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Jake Tapper calls WH petulant for what happened today. I call them

fascists, violent dictators.

That is what I see in the WH...eventually you ALL will and then and only then will something be done.

3. White collar crime.

They are masters at it. Be good enough and you too might end up Governor of Florida!

4. That's because their base is comprised of easily misled dolts.

It doesn't work on progressives because we have brains and use them.

6. Beg to differ

Their base requires near constant reinforcement. It takes a lot of work to get people to vote against their own interests.

7. Seems pretty simple to me.

Lie to them. They believe it.

8. it's the every damn day part that's hard.

20 years of hate directed toward hillary, then when obama came into office they focused on him instead, and they forgot to hate hillary.

it takes constant reminders. that's the hard part.

9. Fair enough.

Though I think it's become a habit for th RW at this point. No one needs to remind a smoker to crave a cigarette. They just do it.

10. I wonder what would happen if they went a week without

I mean, we did that here starting with Election Day....

5. They have to be. They know logic and facts don't help them.

That said, keep in mind their main product is greed, which is an easy sell.
