Scaring the Right

We have a few years to organize a campaign to absolutely terrify the American people of MAGA. How do we do it? 😆

What are center-rights mortally terrified of? We have to define that and pound on the message that 'That's exactly what MAGA is doing.'

{NB. I'd prefer science and rationality but AmPeop prefer pimple-popping fantasy. So we need a plan...} 😆

I plead the 5th. 🙂

Yeah organize another year of Antifa/BLM riots every night and make America sick of your agenda again, that should do it.
You talk about wanting to terrorize Americans then wonder why they are sick of your party.

I dislike Antifa almost as much as trumptards. BLM has some righteousness in their fight and cry's for equality; however, some greedy pos have done damage to their name.
Furthermore, their cry's not to be unjustly shot and murdered by police helps keep us all a little safer; no matter what color your white ass is. lol...

So tell us all how there is NOT 'white privilege' in America? Go...

Oh bullshirt....BLM acts like cops are just randomly shooting blacks every day for no reason. Fact is it almost never happens.

I forget when I first read 'Black Like Me' by John Howard Griffith, "recounting his journey in the Deep South of the United States, at a time when African-Americans lived under racial segregation. Griffin was a native of Mansfield, Texas, who had his skin temporarily darkened to pass as a black man. He traveled for six weeks throughout the racially segregated states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia to explore life from the other side of the color line."

It was in the 1980's and I was a budding young scientist. I was impressed by the experiment: Take the same man, height, weight, speech, education, and only change his outward appearance by using the UV treatment for vitiligo to change his skin from white to black and by shaving his head.

JH Griffith lived in the Deep South in 1959 for 6 weeks as a black man and wrote a book. I read it, and that's when I became "woke," ~40 years ago.

It is entirely up to you if you become woke or not. It is a journey, and as Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness...." That's not an accusation, Joe, but it is a recommendation.

Why not? You did it. 😆

The Left is warm and welcoming and forgiving. The Right is hard and cold and selfish. But you managed with your lies and propaganda to make people afraid of the Left. Ok, fair enough. Well played, but turnabout is also fair play.

Only trouble is, I'm personally bad at lying and manipulating people. I like reason and logic. But I can't reason with people when YOU are over there screaming lies and scaring them half to death. Scared people don't listen.

So I see no other choice for the Left but to use the same tactics. It won't be me - I'm no good at it. But we are millions strong, there must be somebody on the Left who knows how to lie and manipulate. Maybe people in advertising? 😆

I read that book also way back; an awesome book. 🙂

That's not the answer; no matter what that answer is.

JUSTIFIED SHOOTINGS don't count.
BLM and the left in general claim cops just shoot blacks all the time without reason.
They don't.
Of the thousand or so police shootings per year, almost all of them are justified, and if they aren't the cops end up going to jail.
So what's your problem?

LOL yeah watch The View/CNN/MSN/etc and get back to us on how kind loving and truthful the left is.

Well, I never believed that before. 😆

Then we had 2016 and 2024.

I am posing this solution somewhat as the "devil's advocate," but ... I don't know. It is worrisome.

Not all cops; and not all shootings.

That's a thousand deaths by police shootings per year; and, they are not all justified. That's not all police shootings per year.

and if they aren't the cops end up going to jail.
Incorrect mostly. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. It has slowly been getting better over the last century.

I agree; and I feel with you. 🙂
