(10,721 posts)...Democrats, in addition to countering the bullshit, should regularly explain (in easy-to-understand terms) to the American public what strategy/tactic is being used by Trump and Republicans.
"Trump wants you to believe that crimes committed out in the open can't possibly be crimes. He's wrong. Crimes out in the open are still crimes. He is committing impeachable offenses and hoping you'll fall for his tactic. Don't."
"Republicans have for many decades employed the strategy of accusing Democrats of the very thing they are doing, so as to muddy the water and inspire false equivalencies (something the media loves to promote). The American people need to recognize this tactic for what it is and not fall for it."
"Republicans are employing the Gish gallop, which is defined as 'a technique used during debating that focuses on overwhelming an opponent with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments'. In other words, they're trying to drown their opponents in so much BS that one doesn't even know where to begin in responding. Well, we're not going to play that game. When they are ready to join the rest of us in the land of fact-based reality, then and only then can we have an honest discussion. In the meantime, don't fall for their tactic."
These tactics will continue to work unless prominent Democrats repeatedly shine a light on the tactics themselves.

(2,201 posts)It's gotten to the point where I don't think there's anything too stupid for trump to say.
If someone told me that trump had just tweeted that Hillary shot Abraham Lincoln, and that Obama had covered it up, I'd think that there was a good chance that he'd actually tweeted that.

There, fixed it. I wish someone would develop an app that does this.
