Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDJT , PUTIN, and the GOP are using the same propaganda and pyschological tactics,
Deny, deny, deny, lie, accuse others of your crimes , and we see it now with Putin claiming others are nazi's , Ukraines bombing itself. DJT recently did a interview to claim the election was stolen and how corrupt Bidens son and he is knowing stuff was coming out against his election false claims and his son's election crimes. The GOP used Biden's justice pick claiming she protects child sex offenders while they refuse to go after GOP child sex predators . This isn't a fluke, it's a tried a true tactic that's worked. Very well.

(12,541 posts)like "fake news." Q is a Russian psy ops program designed to undermine the federal government through misinformation to sow doubt. Ku Klux Karlson and his network use the same methods. Unwitting rubes and dupes are susceptible to propaganda as their critical thinking skills are wanting. It's the reason Republicans are anti education. Remember who loves the "poorly educated."

(6,911 posts)Propaganda can attack people beyond the geographic borders of the country they reside. It cultivates traitors behind enemy lines where they live.
It must be fought with better propaganda. American liberal media is the best in the world because its balanced. Thats why Putin Republicans and their point manTrumpwant to destroy free media and Hollywood.
Good luck with thatordinary people are on our side, not government dictators.

Hitler was good at it. Putin is good at it.
If Putin continues we will be forced to once again stop fascism. Our advantage is that fascism always fails.
We need to take a good look at policing in the USA. I believe it is just an education problem with police but it needs to be corrected.

Yeah, there are those die hard racist that love the fact that the people they hate for no apparent reason will be abused. But there are many more who believe these con men who don't really care about race.
I think supporting and believing in Putin, TFG and the GOP is very similar to believing in a god, or believing the Nigerian who is catfishing you. It's just another con but why are so many so easily conned?

(9,670 posts)If a news item strikes a chord that is in line with a core belief, it registers as factual.
I have many "friends" who are right wingers and they have been conditioned to believe that all liberals are evil, deceitful, untrustworthy and dangerous.
Any statement or news that supports those conclusions is as true to them as the real news is to us.
The propaganda wouldn't work had they not pre-conditioned this population for decades with Rush, FOX and a right wing radio network that might as well have been a psychologist swinging his pocket watch saying "you are getting sleepy....sleepy".
