Really though, you can't address people's concerns if their concerns are based on just wrong data. Bad actors are controlling the narrative and way too many people are falling for it.
The thing I keep seeing is that they genuinely think the price of goods will go down under Trump. It's such a fundamental misunderstanding of what inflation even is.
We must create our own information pipeline. Legacy media is not cutting it, it's often not talking about these things, is actively spreading misinfo, or is not reaching the people who need to hear it in a way that they'll believe. This must be priority number one going forward or near to it. The right understood long ago how important this is when they created think tanks, commandeered radio, then print, then cable, then online news and culture. They know how to influence perception towards lies and fear.
We have to figure out how to do it towards the truth. Period. Not optional.

If the economy was doing fantastic and the border was secure then Democrats wouldn't have lost that badly. Nice try though
I believe this is the problem we are facing, not who the Democratic candidate is or what the Democrat message is.Mostly correct, but the plan was first conceived in the aftermath of Watergate, not in the early '90s. The first shot fired here was when Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine in the '80s, which led to the right-wing overwhelming the radio-waves (hence the rise of Limbaugh), while around the same time, Rupert Murdoch was leveraging his wealth in the world of print to start up a competing station to ABC, CBS, and NBC (which he achieved by buying 50% of 20th Century Fox's stock, and starting up the Fox Network). Fox News, which started in '96, was built after he got experience with Fox and the British BSkyB station (which was previously owned by 20th Century Fox), but it's clear now that the plan for it was being worked on for quite a while.
The GOP realized they could manipulate an uninformed electorate all the way back in the early 90s, and set up a world of alternative facts instead of having an actual policy platform. It has taken decades of propaganda, but MAGA dominance is the culmination of those efforts. What can a candidate for President say when most of the voters dont know what the facts are, and wont learn?
Democrats have been writing about this for a long time. Al Frankens book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot is largely about things just like this (he has a whole chapter about how, because of propaganda like Fox and Rush, Republican Voters surveyed think they are the most informed, then when tested on current events are actually the least informed). The book is all about what Republicans were trying to do with all their lies on far reaching media platforms. He published it in early 1996.
The election forensics are going to happen just like always, that Harris and Biden and Hunter Bidens laptop should have done this or that. But I think the truth is more dire. The GOP has been purposefully working for much of my life to brainwash the electorate and break the government. They succeeded, and now it has become mainstream. The majority of voters now cant even tell they are being openly manipulated. This election is proof that the plan the GOP embarked on to break good faith government has been a complete win, and they now have a base of easily led voters to back them and whatever distorted reality they choose.
And we as a country are going to spend weeks talking about how Liz Cheneys endorsement should have been handled while the world burns. As if any message was going to get through to an electorate the Republicans have thoroughly broken.

Post Reality Politics, man what a fucked up world.

This sums it up much better than my always rambling posts do. We have entered a stage where reality and facts dont matter to a majority of voters. I dont know how a good faith political party or a person with any brain cells operates in that system.You don't. Good faith people have no place here anymore. Trying to convince someone will only result in you losing your own mind in the process. This shit is fucked.

It's like the R. Kelly trial episode of Boondocks or the Patrick wallet scene, but on a nationwide, systemic level.
A woman who escaped North Korea said something that really stuck out. When she was young all she knew was North Korea. She knew basically nothing about the outside world. And this led her to believe the Leader could actually read her mind.
We read the stories about Kim Jong Un having superpowers and think it is ridiculous nonsense propaganda. To them it is not because they have no other frame of reference aka kept purposely ignorant.

Economy is doing fine. Filthy goppers don't care about the border as anything other than a political talking point as evidenced by cheeto benito killing the border bill earlier this year.He's a chud. He's not interested in facts.
Get your facts straight.
