How I Helped Todd Akin Win — So I Could Beat Him Later

Democrats have been funding far-right extremists so they can seem reasonable by comparison. This tactic also allows Dems to move further to the right without being noticed because they still seem more reasonable than than Republican nutjobs.

It's an insidious tactic that has worked; but when it fails the repercussions are bad for this country. The video breaks down how Dems, as a party, are anti-socialism would rather risk fascism than threaten capitalism.

Whodey used to accuse far-right Republicans of being a "Dem plant". Seems he wasn't entirely off base, despite being a far-right Republican himself.

Why Democrats are paying for ads supporting Republican primary candidates

Democrats are buying ads supporting far-right GOP primary candidates, in the hopes of facing them in the general election — a strategy that former Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri tried in 2012.

Democrats spend millions on Republican primaries

Political groups and nonprofits aligned with the Democratic Party have spent nearly $44 million on advertising campaigns across five states’ Republican primaries to boost the profile of far-right candidates in California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Maryland.

Democrats strategy is rooted in the belief that these candidates — many of whom spread unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential race was stolen from former President Donald Trump — will be easier to defeat in a general election.

Democratic spending has helped secure Republican nominations for candidates in Illinois and Pennsylvania.

In Maryland, Democrats are spending on a Republican gubernatorial primary that is still ongoing and is viewed as a tossup. But in California and Colorado, Democrats spent money elevating the profile of candidates who did not advance to the general election.

Democratic spending helps Republican candidates in Illinois and Pennsylvania

In Illinois, Democratic incumbent Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association dropped $35 million on ads attempting to influence Illinois’ Republican gubernatorial primary – more than any office is believed to have ever spent to meddle in another party’s primary – putting Illinois’ gubernatorial race on track to be the most expensive non-presidential election in United States history.

Democrats have also been known to wear Swastikas and pretend to be Nazi supporters at Republican events in order to discredit conservative candidates.

Let's assume that's true (though since it's coming from you, it probably isn't).

Who would be more at fault: Dems for pretending or Republicans for accepting and being those racists?

Republicans DO NOT accept them or espouse their ideas, they are just as repelled by them as you.
But the sick Soros-controlled media and Dems try to make it look like they do.

You missed the point.

Meanwhile Dems pretending to be Republicans do massive public image damage by slaughtering puppies on camera and tossing babies into wood-chippers.
(OK maybe not that bad, but you know what I mean)
