Fucking PREACH! The conservatives have absolutely whipped our ass on the propaganda front and I have no qualms fighting fire with fire.
Seriously, it's become a meme. "How do we know Charlie Kirk's shooter wasn't a real leftist? He would have needed 300 more shell casings to etch in his nuanced and inclusive ideologies with every possible qualifier along with detailed explanations of every position he has and why..." etc, etc.
We need to rub our mangled country in their faces like a bad dog that shit all over the carpet. We need to hit them with their own short, strong, often offensive and stupid rhetoric until they feel shame.
How do you know when they're ashamed? Easy, they will get mad. Leftists remind me of the children of narcissistic parents, who spend their whole lives thinking they can craft the perfect argument, the perfect rebuttal, the correct sequence of lines and phrases to make their abuser suddenly realize how bad they've been and everyone will be happy.
That is NOT how conservative mindsets work, if it did, they wouldn't be clinging to conservatism. They are reactionaries and only know how to feel things in the moment and the moment keeps changing. That's why we have to be a lot "stupider" and a lot more consistent, but more importantly, we HAVE to start engaging directly with them more, we have to abandoned these cordoned off spaces and start sharing reality again so they feel social pressure.
They're like children deep inside, the anger and hate is a defense mechanism, but when they interact with you directly, they actually DO want your approval, they want to feel accepted or validated, and they will twist and rage if they don't get it. We need to start recognizing these tantrums for what they are.
Okay i'm done. (I'm not.)
The best part is that you don’t need propaganda on the lying or omitting truth sense. All you need is the spine to say loudly what they’re already saying themselves in a critical way instead of a supportive one.
