(15,303 posts)The other voice in my brain says "reported" military deaths. I don't know how many contractors/allies acting as stooges of our War Department are being killed. Let alone the black-funded US groups. And then we should take into account all the suicides of military personnel or their long-term deaths because of the physiological/psychological effects of where they've been and what they had to do.

(81,322 posts)Multiple times a day. Why cant WE repeat and repeat and repeat? That so-n-so in the White House does nothing but repeat-repeat-repeat and he does get the message delivered.
I wish ALL our people with any platform from which to expound would embrace that repeat-repeat-repeat messaging technique. The other guys do it almost reflexively, individually and as media-manipulation gangs and groupspeakers. Weve gotta respond! In kind! We cant afford to keep bringing feather dusters to knife fights.
Thats what trump is trying to do: manage perception within his base. He repeats-repeats-repeats to DRIVE IT IN, and KEEP driving it in. And he understands theyll take the bait. And theyre great civilian delivery systems. Because theyre noisy. They dont let themselves be ignored. Theyre fully aggrieved and resentful on so many levels and on so many subjects, AND better yet, they can be counted onto show up at the polls and VOTE. Hes doing everything he can to push that small but disproportionately loud base to make a lopsided stink about it and manipulate the way all its representatives in government respond, and react.
