In reply to the discussion: Steve Schmidt Exposes Trump's Strategy To Break Your Will To Fight [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)It was from a Podcast of Preet's (on Roku app TuneIn). He had a bigwig Russian on as a guest.
Lest anyone think Trump is politically savvy, the lying constantly is a Putin strategy, according to the guest. It's not what the lies are about, it's the fact that the govt lies all the time about everything. What this supposedly does is get people doubting what is truth. What is a fact? Is it this, or is it that? It creates confusion and chaos among the people. And that benefits the dictator.
That's what Trump is doing. I have no doubt that he rec'd that strategy from Putin.
I'm exhausted by it, like everyone else. But don't confuse disregarding his constant tweets and dramas with a lack of caring or being not fired up to vote. I feel just the opposite. I am always passionate about voting, but THIS year in November, I'm FIRED UP AND READY TO VOTE "D" ACROSS THE BOARD!
We have no Democratic Party presence here, or I'd volunteer for them. I live in TrumpLand. But occasionally I run across another liberal. We are careful not to announce it too loudly because, well, we've seen how they react to that. These are not normal times. When they'd rather be Russian than liberal, no this isn't normal politics. (Although I do voice my opinions to my representatives on FB, and believe me, I get a lot of hostile responses that I don't look at any more. They aren't discussing the issue, though. It's ALWAYS a personal attack or filled with misinformation...you know the standard stuff...Benghazi, the emails!, whatever.
