What I mean is....with social media shutting down conservative voices, left and right....how do we (normies/conservatives) refute the astroturfing nonsense?
Yes, you’re right.... in the south and in many parts of the country, kids are avid hunters/shooters, etc and reject the premise of this manufactured ‘outrage’. But....the rest of the kids, across the country, are feeding in to it and feeding it. How do we educate them, if our accounts are being closed/banned, MSM calls us racist, etc?
On top of that....where are the loud, conservative groups such as all of the Tea Party group PACs, etc, that would place ads in media, to refute the lies of the left?
I see a SPRINKLING of ads, for our side/rights, compared to the ads I saw in 2010 and 2012. Where are those....or ANY conservative groups....speaking out, standing up for our side and touting Trump’s agenda??
(Yet we have a Paul Ryan PAC paying for ads for the DEM, in PA???)
Before I touch on that, my previous opening about "ridiculing IT" was not to ridicule your point! Rather to ridicule the Hogg movement.
As for refuting the left in general: issue by issue, person by person. I share your concern that the most common mode of communication, the internet, is being used to amplify the astroturf. So maybe the internet is as much (maybe more of ) a wasteland as MSM.
I think the vast majority of PAC, TEA Party and similar ORGANIZED groups are "authorized dissent" part of the deep state. They are roughly status quo. Trump wants to burn that down, so they are natural enemies. Trump ran a hostile takeover of the GOP, and the GOP is as much and more dangerous resistance than the openly hostile DEM party.
Trump has a plan. As the NWO-aligned systems (e.g., open borders, bad trade deals, export technology) are replaced with America first, the public will benefit.
Our weapon is one on one conversation with well thought out questions. The blue pills can think, they’ve been taught they don’t have to. Help them think, personal relationships change lives and minds. Socratic method question and answer. ‘What do you think? Why? Could you help me follow your reasoning?
