The first thing that you need, is the blind support of a LOT of stupid, fearful people...

[MrScorpio]

Once you got enough of these assholes on your side, you can do anything.

Tell them anything that you want, the sky's the limit. They'll believe you. Just make sure that they're scared, desperate, hate-filled and uninformed. Fill their empty heads with all kinds of fantasies and they'll be eating out of your hands. Make sure that you use a lot of jingoistic imagery, blonde hair and bright colors to get your message across.

Remember, they have short attention spans.

Never EVER let up off the BULLSHIT. Lies, distortions and all kinds of unreasonable expectations.

Next, you need MONEY. Lots and lots of money. You gotta spend money to make money, especially if you want to bleed the working and middle classes... If Willie Sutton were alive today, he'd skip robbing banks and become a Republican... They ALWAYS know the deal... The working family is where the money is. Regressive taxes are much more effective than Tommy Guns, and easier to get through metal detectors too.

A WAR is always a good idea, two are even better. Use the Pentagon to funnel billions of Treasury dollars into the pockets of your Military/Industrial/Congressional Complex buddies. They'll always love you for it.

Next, keep everybody distracted... Use the same lies that you keep all the dumbasses greased with. Bullshit is very virulent and addictive: All the newsies love to eat it up.

Working Americans cost too much to keep on... The Freaking Freeloaders, with all of that Social Security, Medicare and pension crap. Dump 'em and hire as many foreigners as you can. Hire them here and hire them there... You can hire them ANYWHERE!

Assclowns. Don't underestimate their effectiveness.

When ever there's a sanity break, make sure you duct tape that shit up with Grade A bullshit.

Do not let a tragic disaster go to waste.

Banks, Wall Street and the other monied elite. These people make a living at getting their hands on other people's money. Don't worry, THEY'LL seek YOU out!

So easy...

Once you got ALL of the money, bullshit and enough idiots on your side, NOTHING can stand in your way. You WIN, BABY!




Uhhh...




What's that again about crashing bridges and exploding gas lines?

1. Preach on, Brother Scorpio, but turn around, the choir's already on your side

"When ever there's a sanity break, make sure you duct tape the shit up with Grade A bullshit."- nice

2. Yer' sounding like a Truther

Like the richies conspire against us? "Who could imagine?"

[lonestarnot]

3. K & R!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

4. K&R

[pampango]

5. Keep them focused on fear of all the "others" (gays, immigrants, Muslims, etc.).

That's usually pretty easy to do with older whites who aren't used to diversity and "just want our country back".
