The most important propaganda ploy being pushed right now is to tie classic liberalism, constitutionalism, rooted in a Judeo-Christian world view, to race. Do this and you defeat it without having to confront it philosophically or morally. Do this and you drive a wedge between “western civ” and DNC’s client groups, making debate impossible, and rendering impossible any kind of national unity based on shared principles. Everything gets reduced to ethnic tribalism.
And there are always going to be people who will take the bait, who don’t realize how they are being set up. They can’t win philosophically so they make it tribal.
I’m glad that President Trump has AG Sessions in place. When something such as this happens, AG Sessions studied, careful, by-the-book approach might be the only thing that keeps the administration from making the mistakes so many of “our” pols are making (and this includes Ivanka), of not waiting for the facts before laying blame.
“Everything gets reduced to ethnic tribalism.”
There’s more than 100 million people in the US that are anxious to throw their hat into that ring.
I suspect it’s the defining characteristic of our future.
