MODERATORS
They're morons. Wanna bet a lot of them were swayed by anti-abortion or anti-trans rhetoric? If not that then, 'demonrats are going to turn this country communist' propaganda?
Paying attention is gay, woke, and demonic.
And propaganda works. Everytime. In one direction.
Propaganda goes both ways.
Ex.: guns cause violence. It's a classic Dem. talking point. (And highly ironic that they say, "no one needs a gun, just call the cops!" out of one side of their mouth, and "police are the oppressors of the working class and are the enforcers of systemic racism!" out of the other.) And yet we've just seen two terrorist incidents in the past week and a half that involved cars. Do rental trucks cause violence, maybe? I know I would be filled with rage if I was forced to drive a vehicle made by Musk's company...
p.s. - LGBTQ+ and nonwhite gun ownership rates are increasing, and I am so there for it.
Guns clearly facilitate and amplify violence.
It's a stat. It's as much a talking point as "the sun came up".
Not outside of home-room. Cops need oversight and better help to deal with stress and persecution issues when they pop up. Cops need to be absolutely fired if they exhibit a pattern of racism or other discrimination -- just like every other job, but with extra care because of the lethal force they can apply. This has been discussed. And wouldn't even be ironic, Alanis.
Right. Carry on.
No, it's the same way.
Even if I allow your example, which I wouldn't, the "propaganda" in question is still - blaming someone for something.
That's what ALL propaganda does. That's why the Dems can't use it very well. First of all blaming people for things is a classic conservative characteristic.
