It's amazing how many people just completely fail to grasp how big a deal it is that the left absolutely controls the media (traditional/social).
Anything Trump does - anything - will be spun to hurt him, and help Biden. Any course of action the man takes has to be prefaced by first thinking - how can the media use this to hurt me? All these things people come up with, where they think, "How can he be such a traitor! Why doesn't he just do x??!!". Those things all sound great, and feel great, but the media are the ones that control what the mob knows/thinks. They are just going to portray things in the way that hurts him, and makes him look bad.
Until the left's control over the narrative - traditional media, social/internet media, and then education - is broken, I don't see how any victory is possible. How can anyone win in a system where your opponent is basically allowed unfettered control over what the majority of public sees, and how they will view it?
It's not just that, either. It's the fact that, with everything that has transpired over the last five years, the lesson they have learned is what? That they don't even need to bother to pretend to be even remotely unbiased anymore, and nothing bad happens. Think about what they've done over the last five years.
They have the ability to make it so that not a single day can go by without the public hearing something bad about you. Seriously. Not a single. fucking. day.* If you are not one of their anointed, they can make it so that there will be a near constant cloud of "bad" surrounding you at all times, and regardless of people remembering the specifics, they will have that general negativity in their minds when they next go to the polls.
On top of that, they have the ability to make it so that, whatever ridiculous crap their side pulls, it will either get near zero coverage, or it will always be spun in a way that minimizes the damage.
Finally, they have now learned that they can basically outright cheat, and that anyone not already firmly part of the right is never going to hear about it, and - even if they do - they won't care enough to demand anything be done about it - because they are: 1. in total control of how news is presented to the public. 2. in total control over whether or not the story is presented to the public at all
For me, I think people would be best served now by dedicating all their rage, all their ire, towards the target that is most responsible for things being like they are: the things that allow the left to indoctrinate/control the public. We need to go after the media, go after the internet companies, and then - ideally - drive the left out of education, or - at the very least - make it much more difficult for them to push their politics in schools. If people on the right just keep being complacent, and just accepting leftist control of those 3 "institutions", we're fucked. It's that simple. You cannot win when your enemy gets to indoctrinate two thirds of the public.
Beautifully said.
We must find a way to start quickly chipping away at the left's control of the major institutions.
Media, academia and tech companies are pushing leftist propaganda at breakneck speeds.
