42. Part Of My Point
Sat Jan 11, 2025, 12:38 AM

Part of my point is that we need to put out counter propaganda against Trump and his MAGA Gang. If he and his crew of clowns insist that Dems have "rigged" an election, we should counter with "No. MAGA is the one doing the rigging". If your opponent is a Fascist Regime that spins out lies, misinformation and dirty tricks, I think that it is a mistake to fight fair against that. We need to counter that with more than good intentions. I recommend a more gonzo approach to counter the MAGA nonsense machine. Your personal approach may certainly differ, but to each their own.

There are a lot of strange people in the MAGA movement (bloated gasbag Steve Bannon, rat faced fink Stephen Miller, the traitorous Michael Flynn). If these people are the faces of the Trump MAGA Gang, I imagine that the unknown and invisible ones behind the scenes are just as bad and weird. I imagine washout characters from the fringes of the intelligence sector. This may not seem realistic on the surface of it, but remember that these people are actually talking about suspending the US Constitution and abolishing the FBI. I would not put anything past them.

Incidently - Special Forces attacking CIA Operatives in a secret data warehouse in Stalingrad- I would watch that movie.
