Infiltrate their media

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Ok, I had an epiphany last night - after watching Rachel. She showed a poll that Trump voters thought the unemployment rate had actually risen under Obama.

These people listen to no one except Rush and Fox. Trump knew that. He also knew that the press couldn't keep up with all his lies. He knew that with the internet age - there is so much information - no one can keep up - so lie, and then lie again.

Rush et al and Fox have also made people believe that everyone else out there is lying. You can't trust any information except what we say, even government statistics.

When was it that Hillary soared in approval? During her convention. That was when the Trump voters watched and listened to her - everyone did. Once that was over - they went back to Rush and Fox. and the lies and brainwashing resumed.

I think that the only chance we as Democrats have to win any of these people back is to somehow infiltrate that world of Rush and Fox - to come up with some kind of media that they will also watch and believe.

1. Make some parody versions and see how long until they're taken seriously.

I previously suggested that we get a fake news article about the Electoral College picking Clinton over Trump to trend a few days ahead of the EC's vote.

3. Right - but how could you get credibility? The real winger "news" sites would

just tell their nuts that our site is bogus. Gotta have a personality that they THINK is a nut, but is really working for our side.

It's so funny to see the Trump crowd cheering when he said we would keep up the space program or start a massive infrastructure project. It's like - if he says something half-way liberal it's ok.

4. I love that idea. And, I regret that so many Dems said we should take

the higher road with regard to election tactics. Trump took full advantage of the what you can get away with saying given the current social media explosion - and we just sat back and said we'd take the high road. Look where that got us.
