I cannot see the man's name so if someone finds out please let me know and I will edit this:
Anyway, he was talking about a study of voters where they were shown candidates and pieces of information like health care, Social security, food stamps juxtaposed with taxes for the very wealthy and deregulation that favor the big companies and they found that people did not understand that the GOP is on the side of the big companies and removing security nets for the middle class and the poor. Trump voters just thought he would "shake things up" not having the slightest idea that that meant more money for him and his cronies.
These voters, Trump voters, do not realize that they are voting for the wealthiest people in the country and against their own best interests.
That information needs to be explained to all people. People would not vote for a Trump if they knew what we Democrats knew; that he is all for the big companies and not for the average Joe and Jane.
This should be a message that we sell to the masses from now on. The GOP only wins when people believe their lies.

We need a change in our framing.

(613 posts)Consumers of that propaganda don't realize it's the GOP that has an agenda to screw them. Because the same GOP has an agenda to spread propanganda about liberals and Democrats.
We won't fix the country until we fix propanganda from Fox and right wing radio, and until we persuade the mainstream media to stop repeating GOP lies.
