I seem to recall they did something like this just before the 2008 presidential elections. There was a series of videos put up on a Dem website and YouTube called “2050”...or something like that.

In it was a series of “nightmare scenarios”, enhanced by CG special effects, where the US is portrayed as a wrecked, half destroyed, pollution-damaged shell of its former self.

In one section, NYC was devastated by what may have been a nuke, with the view of a huge crater engulfing most of mid-town Manhattan. Why? Because of our war-mongering policies...started back in 2008 when we elected a Republican as President.

In another, health care was doled out ONLY if you could pay, with only the very rich getting needed medical care. Why? Republicans and the evil pharmaceutical/healthcare providers got together to get richer and richer until only the rich could afford healthcare.

In yet another, the environment has gone straight into the toilet, with badly polluted air, dirty landscapes, and less and less clean water available for anyone. Why? The evil Republicans threw out most of the environmental laws, which allowed big corporations to pollute to their hearts content while they made tons of money. The actor in this one actually mutters to himself “I wish we’d elected Obama when we had the chance...”

Finally, there were interviews with a few people who said elections were held, but the only candidates were who the government SAID you could vote for. It was basically a dictatorship, although they never said so outright. And who, pray tell, was in charge? Yep...Republicans. Evil, nasty, foul, freedom-destroying Republicans.

So, Miss Wilde...can the bullcrap, lady. We’ve seen it before, and just like what you’re saying now, 2 years later....IT’S A LIE.
