WaPo: Inside the Republican false-flag effort to turn off Kamala Harris voters
"Muslims in Michigan began seeing pro-Israel ads this fall praising Vice President Kamala Harris for marrying a Jewish man and backing the Jewish state. Jews in Pennsylvania, meanwhile, saw ads from the same group with the opposite message: Harris wanted to stop U.S. arms shipments to Israel.
Another group promoted “Kamala’s bold progressive agenda” to conservative-leaning Donald Trump voters, while a third filled the phones of young liberals with videos about how Harris had abandoned the progressive dream. Black voters in North Carolina were told Democrats wanted to take away their menthol cigarettes, while working-class White men in the Midwest were warned that Harris would support quotas for minorities and deny them Zyn nicotine pouches.
What voters had no way of knowing at the time was that all of the ads were part of a single $45 million effort created by political advisers to Tesla founder Elon Musk who had previously worked on the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), according to a presentation about the group’s efforts obtained by The Washington Post."

"Ads tested better if Muslims felt they were seeing a message meant for Zionists, “Bernie bros” felt they were hearing from the far left, and “Zyn bros” felt they were hearing from activists who wanted “a world without gas-powered vehicles,” a ban on fracking and affordable housing for undocumented Americans — policies Harris did not actually support during her campaign."

My opinion: I think these ads were responsible for the shift towards Trump in the final weeks before the election. And I'm glad I didn't cancel my subscription to the Washington Post, although I understand why so many people did. The decision not to endorse a presidential candidate was appalling and spineless, but their reporters are among the best.

Without the strength of Black Women — our people would not have survived and endured the American Experience.
While Black men have been targeted via economic pressures, legal and illegal incarceration, miseducation and whatever else this Society of America has thrown at us, Black Women have had our backs and been our strength.
Black Women have (with and without husbands, uncles, brothers, etc.,) been the foundation of the Black family, the backbone of the family. They have worked (at a time when White Women didn’t work) outside of their homes and arrived late to work at our homes.
They have kissed, hugged, loved and spanked us as we needed in doing what was necessary to help us; to help us survive and in some cases to better than we were and could be.
They have endured the rape that was a by-product of slavery (regardless of what the colleges teach about rape being a very minor part of slavery); the attacks on their beauty (by a culture that is euro-centric); the attacks on their views and opinions; and their ability to raise their kids in a society where all cultures are facing difficulties raising kids.
People have said that it is the Black Churches that ensured our survival though ages, true, but it is the Black Women who have been the foundation/infrastructure of the church and the home.
There are problems to be sure, as in every family/culture, but we are who we are because of the women in our lives (and that is true of every group).
So, go ahead Fanni, Lelia and other women (of all colors) do what you can to aggressively save this nation and its people.
