leftwinger Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Ultimately, Trump was the logical consequence of a posture followed for decades at the top echelons of the conservative movement: The batty screeds are silly, but since they help us, we won’t work zealously to purge them. Trump’s conspiracy-based capture of the GOP has less to do with him and his perspective than with a party that sought and often won the support of people who believe those notions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/01/02/dont-blame-trump-rise-right-wing-conspiracy-theories/?arc404=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftwinger Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 To explain the impeachment inquiry, the GOP has promulgated a flurry of baseless conspiracy theories about the forces arrayed against President Trump. It has been surreal to hear some of the nation’s most influential elected officials spouting ideas basically concocted from thin air. The House Intelligence Committee’s ranking Republican, Devin Nunes (Calif.), denounces “Ukrainian election meddling in 2016 . . . aimed against the Trump campaign.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splunch Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Rush Limbaugh made a living conflating the most radical leftists with anyone who didn't toe the line and instantly agree with the GOP right-wing trickle-down bullsh!t. Everyone who thinks maybe it might not be a good idea to slash regulations on investment banks is part of a communist anti-American plot to destroy democracy. And probably gay, too. There is no debating the power and relentlessness and effectiveness of the right-wing propaganda machine that has been churning in this country since the 1980's.

How an oligarchy reproduces itself--through propaganda. Rush was a propagandist for oligarchic capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
