We Will Get Fooled Again

Fool you once - shame on them.

Fool you twice - shame on you.

Fool you repeatedly - you end up with President 45*.

Take lessons from Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich for a few years - tune in to Limbaugh and Savage and Hannity regularly for the Hate Du Jour.

Filter it down to 12 or 15 key triggers - Sharia Law, Illegal Immigrants, Shall Not Be Infringed, Hillary Killed Vince Foster, Socialism, Leftwing Intolerance, Reverse Racism, FemiNazi, Sidney Blumenthal Started Birtherism, Black-On-Black Crime, etc.

Create fake accounts on Google and YouTube, and every social media platform you come across.

Set up your algorithms and your AdBots, and send 'em out with the shittiest memes you can think of.

Such as like for example, per The Guardian:

Police have identified Stephen Paddock as the suspect who opened fire from a high-rise hotel room, killing scores and injuring hundreds more. But before authorities named the 64-year-old Nevada man, some on the far right falsely identified the man behind the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history as Geary Danley. It’s unclear where exactly the hoax originated, but rightwing users aggressively promoted his name, seizing on evidence that he was a liberal.
On 4chan, the anonymous message board and a favorite platform of the “alt-right”, some noted that Danley was a registered Democrat. Soon after, Gateway Pundit, a conspiracy-laden blog that earned White House credentials under Trump, published an evidence-free story headlined, “Las Vegas Shooter Reportedly a Democrat Who Liked Rachel Maddow, MoveOn.org and Associated with Anti-Trump Army”. The piece was based on a review of Facebook “likes”.

I guess I could've shortened this post quite a lot with a simple reminder: Check your bias and your source.

And, especially in light of what we're learning, don't assume anything negative isn't coming from Moscow.
