Don’t let spring and summer slow down your fight for Democracy
The Republican plan is to take up all the oxygen in the media while people are vacationing and enjoying good weather outdoors. Why? That’s when lies and domination thrive. Don’t let them by you!
Here’s how the bad big wheels work. They wait to pass legislation when no one is paying attention. Holidays, graduations, and weddings plus sports events and vacations provide good smokescreens for propaganda, misinformation, and staged video clips at political rallies.
People have lives, and busy people are the easiest to inundate with misleading headlines. Why? They are so busy with jobs and families that they don’t read beyond the headlines. They scroll, they say, to keep up. Translation: they want to look well-informed during chit chats. It’s the perfect storm for propaganda and false scenarios.
I want to highly recommend Dr.Barb McQuade’s new book on Amazon. It is also available as an audio with Barb reading it. She is doing a national book tour, and her fellow legal eagles on the #SistersInLaw podcast interviewed her on March 9th.
Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America
To get a taste of the content, listen to Jen Rubin’s interview with Barb on “The Green Room” podcast. It’s spectacular. March 13, 2024
Diane K24: Below, in answer to Ms. Pamela Leavy, you state:
"Yes, my grandparents were Republican before the Kennedy election 1960, and the propaganda was so bad that they switched parties."
Well, in 1960, Armando was 12-years-old; very politically aware; my Mom cried when JFK was elected -- with a John-Birch-Society-borne fear, JFK meant the End of Democracy and our fall into Communism (rather strange, since the Catholic JFK was very anti-Communist).
In Armando's 12-year-old world, every issue of the slick John-Birch Monthly, "American Opinion," would show a chart of exactly how saturated with Communist i-n-f-i-l-t-r-a-t-i-o-n (from OZ: "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! . . . ) were the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the CIA . . .
Nothing in Q-Anon is new from 70 years ago to the 76-year-old Armando.
Other than my wonder, having shed that cloying strait jacket circa 55-years-ago, how can people be so very gullible and fall into the oppressive and wasting disease of conspiracy theory?
Disinformation is not new. Disinformation just uses newer technology.
Thanks for the link. I enjoy listening as a break from reading.
