Paul Covell epub Propaganda.: How G.O.P. Fools Voters.

How can right-wing politicians convince working-class Democrats to vote against their economic interest. Propaganda makes it all happen. Logic is not helpful. Republicans must inflame the debate with religion and other hot button issues to confuse voters. Former Speaker, Newt Gingrich, and pollster, Frank Luntz, discovered voters' weaknesses: emotion and prejudice. There was a New(t) way to describe Democrats: lazy, socialist, greedy, radical, un-American, and communist. Luntz and Gingrich worked on the Contract with America and the GOPAC memo that pilloried Democrats. The poison in today's politics can be traced back to the Gingrich-Luntz collaboration in the 1990s.But it goes back to Nixon. Helen Gehagen Douglas won the primary against an opponent who called her the Pink Lady, "Pink, all he way down to her underwear". [How would he know]? Murray Chotiner, Nixon's Campaign Manager, printed up 500 copies of the Pink Lady accusation on Pink Paper. Nixon won a California Senate Seat.Nixon won a House Seat earlier by smearing Rep. Jerry Vorhis (D) as a communist because the CIO-PAC supported him. President Trump is a natural evolution of the G.O.P. to fascism. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) does not believe the U. S. is a Democracy. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed suit December 7, 2020, in the U. S. Supreme Court on behalf of Texas to overturn the vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin, on the theory that there was widespread fraud. Seventeen Republican Attorneys General joined, as did one hundred twenty-six Republic members of the House. The Supreme Court dismissed the frivolous suit for lack of standing. Donald Trump came into the White House as result of a fraud by Russia's Military Intelligence Service (the "GRU") working with the G.O.P. and Rupert Murdoch to trash Hillary Clinton. Trump will exit the White House in the wake of a final scam to collect hundreds of millions of dollars from his Base in a fake campaign to reverse the 2020 election.Even Attorney General William Pelham Barr has had enough and resigned effective December 18, 2020. Trump subjected the American People to a constant stream of propaganda but it did not take. Trump will leave the White House on January 20, 2021.
