I watched that ad. I was left with my mouth hanging open, and again wondering: "What is wrong with these people?"

(FWIW, that IS completely a rhetorical question, but the brazenness of the deceit is nearly staggering.)

Point is, I was up in the air about aspects of this, but after years of this kind of thing, I have finally solidified my stance on what the underlying strategy of the Left is:

They lie deliberately to advance themselves or their cause. And they don't care because there are no consequences to doing so.

They have done the calculus, and determined there is no downside to lying.

Their own voters are going to vote for them. Conservative voters won't vote for them.

So they are going after the reprehensible and execrable "Undecided" Voters.

The have determined if they lie often, loudly, and convincingly, there are a a number of those morons they are convinced they will capture for their side.

They don't care that there is this thing called the "Internet". Those pathetic people whose votes the Left covets are watching cat or dog videos, they aren't watching videos of someone explaining issues. They aren't concerned that some segment of those people will stumble across something that will bring them back to reality by realizing they are being lied to. There will be some, but the number is so small as to be insignificant.

They don't care that there are Social Media companies out there where the truth might be disseminated to those coveted "Undecideds", because, with few exceptions, those are fully in the pocket of the Left, and censorship, if brought to light and trumpeted to the public, will be explained away as an "error in the algorithm" which has "been corrected", even though nothing of the sort has been done. And very few prospective Democrat voters will be lost in the process. Some will, but most won't.

They don't care that there are search engines like Google which actively shape their returns. In the post after this one, I am going to demonstrate my own effort to verify just how true this is, and it is indisputably true. In my experiment, I searched Google for Kamala Harris, examined the first page of the "News Feed" pane on the first page for Kamala Harris, listing every title, then viewed the next ten pages of returns. After that, I searched for Donald Trump and repeated that process. It is so skewed as to beggar belief that they would be so brazen, but they are. And they don't care. Not even a bit.

And they most CERTAINLY don't care about Media coverage. They know their party's water is being carried by the media. They know they are being covered for. They have determined that while Fox News is considered "right wing", it isn't so conservative that it will dissuade those people from voting for their candidates. And they know all the other networks will present such a uniform and lopsided picture that is detrimental to a non-Democrat candidate, that the variances are so small that any of those precious "Undecideds" who open their eyes at the wrong time can be viewed as an anomaly.

So, in all of this, they feel perfectly confident in their selections.

They are so comfortable in their calculus that they can simply select, against the wishes of their voter base someone like Kamala Harris to lead the ticket, who was in charge of the border situation and deliberately destroyed it, who advocated getting rid of police while encouraging people to donate to organizations that bailed out violent repeat offenders, and publicizing, who got where she was by performing sex acts on an older, married man with political connections, and cannot string together a sentence without inappropriately laughing.

They are so comfortable in their disgusting process that they can simply select a candidate like Tim Walz, who lies openly about his military service, bugged out on his comrades when they went to war, lied about it, lies about his encounter with the GW Bush campaign in 2004, is responsible for $500 million dollars in damage and 1,500 properties damaged or destroyed, pushed legislation to put feminine hygiene product in grade school and high school boys bathrooms, pushed legislation to force children undergoing transgender conversions to be kept from their parents if they disapprove, is fully invested in Communist China, was arrested for DUI and lied about it, and one could go on, and on.

Things like this do absolutely make one wonder just what they intend to do during the actual election to cheat it, because in a straight up election, it would be impossible for them to win. Yet they chose candidates like these who will further accelerate the destruction of this country.

I am very concerned. And we all should be, because their selection of these reprehensible, unlikable, and unelectable people appears to be a giant middle finger to voting Americans, and indicates they have something up their sleeves.

They lie deliberately to advance themselves or their cause. And they don't care because there are no consequences to doing so.

First, we agree, in that I said they regard this as a calculated risk. We disagree in that I said they do it out of desperation. But there's one more thing about that...

You are dead wrong that there are "no consequences." The question really is whether the consequences are bearable. They can only get away with, "Trump is lying," as long as it is salable. But when one pairs an inset in the screen with Kamala Harris speaking those words with the rest of the image being visual reality, using leftist MSM source video and government statistics with citations, it becomes too undeniable.

Repetition is what changes short term memory into semantic longterm memory. Repetition is what changes semantic longterm memory into implicit conditioning. The only way to break the latter is traumatic cognitive dissonance, analogous to the former liberal that got mugged. But it's doable and we'd best get to it. What we need is the tools and Trump's campaign had damned well better get on with supplying them.

So dump the despair. It's too costly toward being effective.
