Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpās policies, arguing that āTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā
In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpās ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.
He cited Trumpās recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.
The White House dismissed Sandersā concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.
If you keep repeating something over and over again people on average are more likely to believe it, especially if itās multiple people all repeating the same point. Itās part of social psychology: conformity and is the basis of psychological warfare.
Bannon and Cambridge Analytica used this to great effect via social media. Now the bosses of social media have fallen in line behind trump, this message and similar ones MUST be repeated.
This isnāt a debate where whomever has the best standing with the audience or the best argument will win.
This is a shouting contest.
Every 10 second lie they spout will take 1 minute to debunk. The only way to win is to repeatedly shout a 10 second retort, finishing with āread this!ā and SHOVE a list of evidence in their face.
They wonāt look at the list for the first two dozen times, but by the third or fourth dozen theyāll take a look, thatās all we can do via the soap box.
I didnāt poo-poo the idea, it is just going to take a lot of effort to get through to them. Please, keep trying, all of you (I will be dealing with something similar as a āTemu Trumpā is trying to run/ruin our country as well and he has the 3 word method down, good thing Trudeau is gone and will hopefully be replaced by someone I can support).
It is just infuriating every time I check r/republican and they are stating Trumps words as fact though they have already seen that is not the case, hence why I said they would each need to suffer to see this. āFuck you, got mineā is very prevalent down there and to a lesser degree up here as well. (I check every so often to see just how insane it is getting over there)
