    'The Big Money Behind the Big Lie'

    There is an amazing irony in the fact 'big money' aka 'dark money' controls the minds of the working class, so called conservatives in America. You see it on web sites, you see it on Fox, OAN, Newsmax, you read it online in numerous sites and posts. The major tool is easy to see as demonizing the other is as old as humanity. Groupthink dominates - its them, they are the reason things are not as they should be. Finger pointing allows reality to never enter, for reality is more difficult and pointing fingers easy. And so it goes....


    "Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy are being promoted by rich and powerful conservative groups that are determined to win at all costs."

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...nd-the-big-lie


    Trump had Hitler's speeches at his bedside according to his first wife.

    "The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one. If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed. Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise." Hitler’s Control of the Masses, Mein Kampf

    "Back in Arizona, where the auditors are demanding still more time, Gates believes that the Big Lie has become a “grift” used to motivate Republican voters and donors to support conservative candidates and political groups. “The sad thing is that there are probably millions of people—hardworking, good Americans, maybe retired—who have paid their taxes, always followed the law, and they truly believe this, because of what they’ve been fed by their leaders,” he said. “And what’s so dispiriting is that the people who are pushing it from the top? They know better.”"



    "The main hypothesis concerning group-think is this: the more amiability and espirt de corps among the members of an in-group of policymakers the greater the danger that independent critical thinking will be replaced by groupthink, which is likely to result in irrational and the dehumanizing actions directed at out-groups." Irving L. Janis in 'Sanctions for Evil'

    "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it." Voltaire

    Again with your ignorance and double standards concerning "dark money" @midcan5

    As far as your fascist accusations, think real hard now, which side of the political spectrum is suppressing free speech and dissenting opinion ??

    Now run away midcan5, it's what you do best.

    Midcan does his very best to hold liberal democrat water at every turn. He tries so much so that he has lost all his perspective on what is the truth and what is not....CNN has less than a million viewers like midcan now...they are a super Minority

    My biggest dig is he doesn't point counter point, he doesn't discuss, midcan5 posts and runs away.

    The Democrats have the money makers and the Big Power Players in their Pocket and you don't need dark underground conspiracies to see it!

    What a Joke!

    Hahahahah. Ran away or has a life. Sorry children. Now aside from ad hominems not a single intelligent reply. You guys are no fun and no challenge, ask mommy for help maybe? Think, rather than name call, try it you may like it. Maybe!

    Again for the mature reader, Check out the history of the American right and dark money. They are being played and they dance to the tune like puppets.

    *Hahahahah. Ran away or has a life*

    That's right, you run away. You have plenty of time to post threads, lookup and post links and post your mostly off topic rants that are generally long winded, but just can't seem to find the time to reply to posters that refute you.

    *Now aside from ad hominems not a single intelligent reply.*

    Your ignorance concerning "dark money" is legend and shows an enormous set of double standards. You've been called on it numerous times and yet you ..... yes you midcan5 run away. BTW, calling out your double standards isn't argumentum ad hominem.

    *You guys are no fun and no challenge*

    No challenge ?? Then why do you run away ?? Why won't you engage in point counter point ?? Why won't you discuss ??
