there's a massive secondary and tertiary target audience of apathetic and too-busy americans hearing the excuses and lies and bullshit from friends and family and coworkers or white trying to get the weather report and news driving every day - how BLM is a terrorist org, or the new black panthers are intimidating republican voters, or obama is letting brown people across the border to bring ebola into the schools, etc. or the think tank produced bullshit with cherrypicked numbers about black on black crime, or IQ, or whatever.

and then they dump carloads of free guns into chicago so they can put it on obama.

what you are suggesting is that such propaganda is irrelevant, or doesn't work
