(7,142 posts)Democrats don't know how to combat right wing propaganda. I get SS and Medicare, I paid in to them for 45 years, I am entitled to them.
I live among Trumpers in central Pa. when they call me a Socialist I tell them that Republicans are really the Socialists. Trump just gave billions of taxpayer dollars to soy bean farmers because they lost profits because of Trump's tariffs. I tell them if they want to fight Socialists go to Alaska where every resident is given a check from taxes put on oil drillers.
Republicans are also liberals. They are liberal with regulations on banks and the environment and other institutions.
Here's the main problem that Democrats have that is always overlooked, the M$M is complicit with the far right and controls the narrative, pushes far right narratives. It is hard for Democrats to buck Repugs with the M$M on the side of Repugs.
