propagandist, the left is great at manipulating the media and the masses in their favor with manipulation, staged events, and staged incidents. I’m sure they have full time advisors
dreaming this stuff up and executing it.
From an old thread with a booklet from 1939 about FDR and the New Deal. This is a “brief” excerpt.

PROBLEM SIX THE DOMESTICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL
When New Dealers speak in one breath of a welfare economy and with the next breath bitterly denounce pressure groups it may seem that they involve themselves in an ironical dilemma. It is easy to say: “What would you expect, since you have made division of the national income a matter of political bargaining where before it had been always a matter of economic bargaining?”
Yet they are right, the New Dealers. In the welfare state pressure groups, representing willful political action, cannot be tolerated. They will have to be suppressed at last, because in the welfare state the government cannot really guarantee social security until it goes to the logical end, which is to ration the national income in time of peace just as all goods and satisfactions are rationed in time of war.
