Well, they've completely flipped the narrative

[thegoose]

Now the #MeToo movement, Democrats and actual raped women have been remade as "hysterical" and "weaponized." Meanwhile, these ancient white fucks are the "victims."

It chills me to see how many morons are swallowing this shit. Even on MSNBC and CNN, they're equating everything and hauling Pukes on to continue their filthy fucking lies. Frothy Santorum on CNN was particularly foul.

1. Every issue is a wedge issue now.

Watch them paint Mothers Against Drunk Driving as a bunch of old busybodies who need to be taught to mind their own business.

[ProudLib72]

9. Let's just see about that

Babies? How about babies as a wedge issue? Oh yeah, he made baby prisons.

Sign language? Is American Sign Language a wedge issue? Oh yeah, there is the idiotic "white power" sign.

Pizza? Surely pizza is not a wedge issue! Oh yeah, Papa Johns and the pedophile pizza parlor.

Shoes. Let's just stick to shoes. Wait, we can't talk about Nike though!

Etc...

Etc...

I believe you may be right.

2. Don't listen to that drivel....

.....turn them off.... they only listen to ratings. Save your blood pressure for the next battle.

[elleng]

3. Of course, that's what THEY always do.

We really need some great p.r. types to get us on an effective groove.

[Still In Wisconsin]

4. Yep, they won again.

The game's never fair, of course, but they're good at capitalizing on their advantages: unlimited cash, media complicity, and the fact that hate of the "other" is the dominant sentiment in these times.

5. Of course

I don't watch any of those shows. Maybe Rachel and Lawrence, but that is it. And not until after the elections.

6. 'Frothy Santorum'

!

[njhoneybadger]

11. A more aptronymic cognomen I have never seen

[empedocles]

15. Multi-faceted nuance there?

[meow2u3]

7. Well, they have to create a false narrative to justify their cruelty

Otherwise, they'd have to face the reality that they're falling in line behind a credibly accused criminal is not only immoral, but also possibly criminal.

[Thrill]

8. Somethings never change. Repukes just know how to use the media

Democrats think you can be civil.

[HipChick]

12. Exactly....

[peggysue2]

10. Yes, they're doing their best . . .

to set the narrative that Kavanaugh was ambushed by a bunch of hysterical women. Republicans love the victim label, only when applied to themselves. And doing this justifies the breaking of norms and common decency. When the only thing they care about is . . .

Winning. At all costs.

Even if it means breaking the country's back, delegitimizing the Supreme Court and lying their asses off.

Which is why we need to throw it right back at them on November 6th.

[thegoose]

13. And complete and total flagrant lying is just fine now

Thanks to Dumpster. Piece of shit. This is how it starts.

14. DARVO

https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html

DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim -- or the whistle blower -- into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the accuser's credibility and blames the accuser of being the perpetrator of a false accusation.


...AND THE MEDIA is participating in it.

16. patriarchy MUST RULE, the men put me too back it its place.

take that hillary!

[JudyM]

17. We must recapture the narrative about what we are about. *Safety of women*... and of children, POC

the environment, workers, etc. A few more thoughts about that messaging in this post:
