Rebranding is Gaslighting. Do NOT let them Frame the Fucking Narrative.

[LaydeeBug]

We need to stop blaming the victim. Our elections were meddled with. This was a coordinated effort aided and abetted by the GOP. SERIOUSLY. The Russians did not infiltrate without help. They were their help.

Do NOT let them gaslight you. Do NOT let them wedge you apart. They will try *EVERYTHING* (Bernie, bathrooms, gays, use this term, not that term...aside...FUCK THAT...this is war...use whatever works...Pelosi, losing by slim margins in heavy R districts, etc...) ANYTHING that divides *US* advances their agenda.

They *have* an Achilles heel. It's Russia. We need to call this a coup. Because it fucking *IS* a coup. And unite! They did this. You *KNOW* they fucking did this.

I *love* Michelle Obama and "when they go low, you go high", but this is cyber *WAR*...when they go low...

DON'T BACK DOWN.

One important lesson is that when they go low, going high doesn't f**king work.

3. She is very sharp and I enjoy her input.

We wrote to each other back in Nov when I had concerns about Russia and not many others did. She knows her stuff and I was very impressed.

Some people at my last Indivisible protest chanted, "When they go low, we kick them in the *****". I won't say it since last time I did on DU I was criticized for referring to genitalia.

9. I Think You Can Get Away With A$$

4. hear! hear!

Absolutely on board with you!

[Alice11111]

5. Thanks for OP. We need more of this.

[nikibatts]

6. Thanks for this!

Think about it. Has the GOP ever "re-branded?" HELL NO, THEY JUST DOUBLE DOWN...AND WIN!

[Gothmog]

7. I agree-do not back down

8. Blaming the victim

is exactly what is happening. Pelosi's age and voice have been criticized here on this Democratic site. Makes me ill.

[LaydeeBug]

10. don't let them divide us. Take a hard pass at treason

[mcar]

11. Yes!

[BadgerMom]

12. Concur!

[BumRushDaShow]

13. And think about how the GOP would act if it were the reverse

and the "meddling" elevated Democrats.

They still haven't recovered from having a black man elected twice as President nor gotten over "the gall" of having a woman even think of running, let alone run, and win 3,000,000 more votes than their candidate. It is eating them alive.

[LaydeeBug]

16. Are you *kidding*? Honey there's no need to wonder...

They practically ORCHESTRATED Benghazi and would be impeaching her over email right fucking now.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. They still want to investigate her over Benghazi

and her emails.

[byronius]

14. Excellent.

[Iplayoneontv]

15. Fuck them.

Vox published an article saying Tucker Carlson nailed it why Ossoff lost because Dems don't understand identity politics. No mention of Handel's shit campaign, no mention of identity politics being something the Republicans use as a weapon, no anger about their lying about where Ossoff is from - it's the Dems fault for letting them lie apparently, no mention that she purged voter rolls as Sec of State, or that GA left their fucking election website wide open despite multiple warnings, no paper ballots or paper trails. It's just haha they can't win bc they're so dumb they don't have a massive bullshit campaign based on hate.

For fuck's sake, look at North Carolina. They won't even vote on a bill to over turn a court case allowing women to be raped if they initially consented no matter was a dude does afterwards in part because a dem put it forth.

What the fuck should I say to these people?

[ancianita]

18. You are SO fuckin' right. Tell it!

[Sunlei]

19. (R) stands for Russia. I want to know what Republican grp. placed Manafort in their mans campaign.

That's what I want to know.

[DK504]

20. "...this is war..."

You are so right!!! This is a war and were bringing Chardonnay to a gun fight.

Luntz the Lughead has been on the rhetoric war since before The Shrub was elected, hell he helped him get elected. That POS has been zombie-fying the public for nearly 2 decades, where exactly have the progressives in the media and Congress. They need to be screaming from the mountain tops? Just curious. We ARE at war.

[Paladin]

21. Couldn't agree with you more, LB.

Right now, DU is awash in divisive, destructive threads. For Chrissakes, quit doing the GOP's dirty work for them.

[AgadorSparticus]

22. So agree with everything you said!!!
