Jesus Christ could be the Dem. House Minority Leader, and the Republicans would shit all over him.

People that's what they do. They play the politics of personal destruction.

1. It feels coordinated! and agenda-ish! Very repelling.

This sudden take down of Pelosi!

[shenmue]

3. Exactly

That's what it is.

[leftstreet]

4. I don't think so

I've been here a long time and I recognize several members asking legitimate questions about Pelosi's leadership. Sure there are probably a few attention-seekers just jerking around

But it's not necessarily 'coordinated' to have a Democratic loss and find people grousing on forums the next day

7. Some people get more swept up in the propaganda and while they're not trolls,

They're too often influenced by them. They're not thinking it through and get caught up in aimless anger, and other people are using that against them.

[leftstreet]

8. True

That's a good description. I see that at times

Heh - it's probably happened to me!

[Madam45for2923]

9. I see! So what to do?

[bettyellen]

13. Last year I noticed some friends were using talking points that came from Breitbart and RT

Becasue they were also showing up on TYT too.
I'd explain their sources were aligned w a heavily anti Dem agenda, and it's helping the wrong people.

6. It sure is, and those who didn't support Pelosi for House Minority Leader are the ones I hear

joining in to spew this garbage

If they continue to push this diversionary garbage, the Democrats are going to self-destruct

[sharedvalues]

14. It is coordinated. And it's been happening for years, not just recently.

Here's Fox News in 2008 on Pelosi. (Selective Amplification)

2. You are right. They destroy the reputation

of left leaders. They have that constant squawk machine on 24/7.

[Bleacher Creature]

5. It's so obvious, but people don't seem to get it.

Just look at Obama. His biography is near perfect. He earned his way into top notch schools, has a loving family, genuinely loves his wife, and is fairly middle of the road and pragmatic politically.

And yet the GOP was able to convince their lunatic base that he's basically a modern day Black Panther (and not the Wakandan kind).

[mythology]

10. You can't be serious

There is no way the Republicans would go after a dark-skinned hippie from an unwed mother who's soon to be husband was cuckolded. Not to mention born homeless, hung out with hookers and the poor (even fed them), chastised the wealthy. Oh and if Steve Bannon was around, he wouldn't want to be associated with one of those Jewish people.

Oh wait, that's pretty much exactly what they would do. The religious right really doesn't seem to have much actual familiarity with the biblical accounts of Jesus. Which is kind of a shame as they really seem to miss the point that way.

12. Your post reminded me of this

[Blue_true]

11. We need to work on strategies for batting back that attack.

Republicans will keep using it until our candidates shove it down their damned throats.
