People don’t want to hear it but we are infiltrated. And people have to make a choice. they can defend their online friends or their country.
This is a propaganda war. People think fourms like this are all fun and entertainment with some knowledge thrown in. But they are the front lines of new (not so new anymore) media. And they are manipulated pawns as long as they choose to be.
Lets face it. We have all seen people rush to the defense of others they dont even know on the basis that they are online pals.
Really? That’s all it takes to flush principle? Your unknown online buddy? Well folks, some of those buddies are GOP and Dem staffers placed here to set you against each other so their candidate slips by in the fighting.
Last election ring a bell? People like me were trashed hourly for standing on principle. I and others have since recieved apologies from once committed Romneybots on threads, not email, telling us we were right all along. And this thread has folks now saying the same things we did over a year ago.
So people can head it off at the pass...NOW...or get set for a rerun. Simple choice really.
The GOPe are well funded, and their fellow travelers and useful idiots will be out in full force this election cycle. I for one have no intention of being cowed.
