Trump Has Crossed a Truly Unacceptable Line
Trump Has Crossed a Truly Unacceptable Line
There is something particularly insidious about his claim that Haitian immigrants are eating household pets.
You're viewing a single thread.
- Trump is a incompetent liar, with a first Presidential administration that saw over 1 million Americans die from a purposefully sandbagged and mismanaged worldwide viral pandemic response, capped off by a violent and deadly insurrection in the nations capitol building
- Having had his pants pulled down on national television by Kamala Harris, he has no other option than to start throwing molotov cocktails into the zeitgeist, knowing the feckless media will oblige for ad revenue, hoping to push Harris/Waltz below the fold
- Well meaning though obviously ignorant netziens continue to repost articles, mocking Trump, thereby amplifying his messages of hate and division, which is the only way his molotov cocktail throwing can achieve the goal of keeping him on the front page, and sucking all the air out of any energy praising Harris
As Boris Johnson famously wrote about it, this is "the dead cat on the table" strategy:
There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, "Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!" In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.
These right wing fuckos all have the same playbook
