I thought that the best way would be to come up with a term...a near-pejorative that we can just call libs who want to whine and wail about the Russians.
If you doubt the effectiveness of this, think of how well the Left was able to shut down the mention of Obama's "origins" with the term "Birther". Conservatives, for better or worse, became reluctant to state opinions about Obama for fear of being ridiculed as a birther.
Well, there's no reason that we can't do the same to the Left.
What's the one thing we can do to really anger them? Call them the thing they hate. McCarthy.
We should stop arguing with leftists on social media by labeling them Neo-McCarthyists. (I can't take credit for that...a Reddit poster came up with that in a discussion we were in. But, it is beautiful).
So, if you're in, start right now. If you interact with and debate those on social media regarding politics, as soon as they bring up the Russians, just label them as Neo-McCarthyists and dismiss them outright. If they persist, tell them that you don't deal in conspiracy theories. You might also throw in that they are perpetuating a new Red Scare and that they'll have our children huddling under desks waiting for the bomb if they keep it up. Et cetera...but don't debate them.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I didn't know of another way to do it. I don't think I've ever posted a vanity before, so again, please forgive me.
Thanks for reading.
I LOVE IT!! RUSSOPHOBES!!
Bump
I like it.
Also I think recently we have Soros in conjunction with the Zero state department funding intrusion in Macedonian (slavic) elections/affairs.
So if you WANT to play the left game, you turn them into haters of an entire ethnic group, and you brand it racism against slavs, and misogyny against Melania, combined. Also you explain their boycotts of Ivanka's business, Rosie calling Barron autistic etc.
I'm not advocating this ... it is, however, exactly what they would do.
Next you would go out and gather tiny heavily questionable anecdotal instances where lefties could plausibly be accused of expressing this racism, and you weigh your victims such that they are usually women.
Slavic Christian women might be a good choice here.
It wouldn't work because you'd need 20 lying alphabet stations to start using the new word / theme 1000's of times a day on all media.
This is what they do, how they think. They are disgusting.
I want the rope they are trying to fit around Jeff Session's neck to tighten around somebody else's neck.

The real problem is that Democrats are dictating the course of the battle. The strategy of attacking Trump through attacks on his underlings has been effective, forcing Trump & Co. on the defensive. This has to stop. Trump must take the initiative & take the battle to the Rats.
The very best way to do this is to go after Hillary & Obama, legally.
A grand jury should be formed to look at Hillary & the Clinton Foundation. An honest jury would vote to indict on multiple counts. That in & of itself will send the Left into fits of uncontrollable rage. It will focus all their efforts to defend her - a losing cause. They will be so blinded by their efforts to rescue Hillary that all their other efforts will fall to the wayside.
At the same time, but quietly, the Justice Dept. should be looking at Obama corruption, likely a wellspring of crime. Once Hillary is found guilty, she then “sings like a bird” about Obama & Co. to try to stay out of jail. If anyone knows where Obama buried the bodies, Hillary surely does. At the very least he was complicit in her use of an illegal email server. Obama will then be put on the defensive, severely curtailing his ability to attack Trump.
If things continue the way they are, Trump & Co. will spend way too much time defending themselves from the “accusation of the week” by the MSM & the Left. Time spent defending Trump & his cabinet is time not spent Making America Great Again. It is better to force them to focus on an attack on their 2 gods, a battle they cannot resist, yet they could easily lose.
I want to add that I don't believe the Putin-directed information campaign caused Hillary to lose. I believe she did that. And, in addition, there is a whole other set of problems with Putin's foreign policy that lies outside of what the Russians did or did not do to affect the election. One doesn't have to think that opposition to the restoration of the Russian empire is the same as being against Trump. Far from it, and the President seems to be very much moving in the direction of realism and containment due to recent Russian activities since his election. Those would be the nuclear arms violations, the spying on the USA, the continued dangerously close buzzing of our ships and aircraft, the continued undeclared war on Ukraine, and the threats Putin is making against other peaceful nations in Europe. The Putin apologists seem to believe that a bully like Putin deserves their loyalty over the US government and our constitution. So a good name for them is traitors.
If your candidate has a light schedule and is having coughing fits and almost collapses on the street and you don't have an adequate explanation for that people will speculate that she's seriously ill.
If there are emails about pizza-related handkerchiefs and pictures of strange underground rooms, theories will develop and if you just dismiss the whole thing as "fake news" without explaining away the details those theories will grow.
If the president's father was a mysterious foreigner with no record of actually living with his mother and the president won't release his birth certificate people are going to come up with theories.
It doesn't matter how kooky the theories are, if you don't have an alternative theory to explain what's going on, the theories will gain headway.
