I've thought for many years how stupid most conservatives are, how they don't like to read, stuff like that...and it's true, BUT...?
...I think they've outsmarted us on one thing.
Propaganda.
They are good at it. They are steady, unwavering. They will tell a lie all day every day for YEARS if they need to - because they know it doesn't matter if it's TRUE - if the public hear those sound bites OVER AND OVER again, eventually it will BECOME true for many gullible or less-than-informed people.
The "Crooked Hillary" narrative started a QUARTER CENTURY ago. From the moment Hillary Clinton tried to enact Universal Healthcare, Single Payer. They hated that she was a woman who dared to try to get something done. And they hated the notion of providing healthcare to anyone. Period. SO - for over 20 years, they have LIED about her OVER AND OVER again, made scandals where there were none, etc.
AND EVEN SOME LIBERALS NOW THINK SHE'S LESS TRUSTWORTHY THAN F-ING DONALD TRUMP, A SERIAL LIAR RATED THE #1 LIAR BY POLITIFACT, A CON MAN, A MAN WHO HAS BEEN SUED OVER 3,000 TIMES FOR SCREWING WORKERS.
PROPAGANDA. Republicans do it well.
It's sick. But they do it well. Just turn on Fox News for a while and you'll see what I mean. Nice colors, red, white & blue, hot babes, nice lighting, and a STORM OF LIES. I've never turned on Fox and seen the truth, except a short viewing of Shep Smith here and there.
