control the framing.

4. Exactly.
It doesn't hurt that what we have to say is resonating with a public who is tired of being kicked to the curve.

5. And it's getting said more than once
Imagine that! Instead of just saying it one time, it's getting repeated over and over again. Almost as if we're going for retention in the public mind/memory. I'm sure that the repetition will be pointed to as Exhibit A in how mean and horrible this "class warfare" is, and how dastardly it's being waged. But I will say:

It's about frickin' time!

7. well the tweet was perfect..the msm frames the 'everything'
the dialogue..the celebrities..the issues and non issues..and it is wholly owned by the elite.

Turning OFF msm completely..would redirect this country. Until then, they manage the distractions.

11. Skip, my husband just said:
"If they want to have class warfare, that's fine. I have no problem guillotine-ing a few of those assholes, which is what happened the last time the rich started bitching and moaning about how rich they are."

13. Just a little push, and the narrative changes
I learned in debate a long time ago, that the goal is to put the enemy on the defensive. This needs to be done, and it works every time it is tried. We have the moral position. We ought not try for an inch, we ought go for a mile. It works.
