"It doesn't matter if it's 100 percent accurate," "this is the play"

Donald Trump and his political allies have embarked on an aggressive, end-of-the-campaign effort to drum up fear among voters about a caravan of poor migrants several thousand miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. Much of it is mistruths and embellishments, but Trumpland could care less.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 percent accurate,” a senior Trump administration official told The Daily Beast. “This is the play.”

This is what I mean, they’ll do anything and everything to retain power, no matter how absurd. We should be even more over the top instead of wasting time trying to debunk the lies, make them play defense for a change.

It’s not really even a stretch to say they want to take away everyone’s healthcare. To eliminate taxes on the rich entirely. To turn us into an American Taliban. And so on. Be creative, be hyperbolic, lie your ass off. Fuck it. Just win by whatever means.
