Fight the Right

[ck4829]

Use this thread to discuss any tricks you know which can help us fight the RW'ers. Know a way how to defund them? Post it. Any particular weaknesses you think that they may have? Post it.

We'll have to use every tool disposable if we want to win.

1. The GOP Far Right = Divisive Tactics..the answer lies not only in refuting

the Lie Cheat Steal thingy but to also look to the Promises of Benevolency and Altruism....which the Dem Party stands for...

Our answers should look to the higher levels of Society....ON a POSITVIE NOTE...Just Imagine if we have a SURPLUS...think of what wonderful programs we could fund/have.

Our Poverty level can go down instead of UP

Same for our Homeless.

The GOP stands for ineptness....they canardly pick a Leader for Gods Sake...

2. It's going to be hard

Because there are tools that are mutually exclusive, and we also have to decide what kind of victory we want.

If we are hoping for an electoral victory than we have to decide which voters are the most important and how we can reach those voters. If we decide that we need to hold and encourage the moderates and the undecided, that dictates one strategy - if we decided we need to hold the progressives and the party faithful that dictates another strategy. As a hint, attacking a popular ex president like Clinton is good for Republicans base, but doesn't help them with moderates and us.

On the other hand if we can't win electorally, than that dictates a completely different agenda, but one I am even less competent to suggest.

3. We have a strong weapon that they do not possess - the TRUTH.

The truth to them is like water to the Wicked Witch of the West, and we need to fling it all around. When I print an article that exposes yet another GOP crime against humanity and casually leave it in a place where others can see it (bathroom, counter at Dunkin's, etc.), I call it "dropping a truth bomb." :hi:
