    Do most people even know who George Soros is anymore? It just seems like a random name with no meaning to most voters.

    Soros has become the convenient catchall boogeyman for conspiracy theorists and right wing media / pro-Russia sites

    • fox news anchors blame Soros for
      • the beating of a weatherman
      • the woke culture
      • the cancell culture
      • homelessness
      • ObamaCare
      • inflation / COVID
      • QE/QT
    • QAnon buy blames Soros for QAnon
    • Trump blames Soros for his indictment

    No one knows who John Galt is either. Pretty sure 90% of Republicans are just pretending to have read Atlas Shrugged. Democrats ran into this problem in 2014 when they started blaming everything on the Koch Brothers despite polling showing that most Americans had no idea who they were.

    This is what modern day fascism looks like. @fchowd0311 was right. Trumpers are nothing but full blown fascists.

    majority of people yelling out George Soros don’t even know what he looks like or have ever heard him speak

    It pisses me off that they are giving her one ounce of airtime. She is a hate stirring radical right propaganda stirring nutjob. She was more outraged about the shooter being trans than she was about another senseless barbaric gunning down of yet more children by an American with an AR-15. She's a liar, and helped incite the coup. We all know her loyalty is and is to Trump and Putin. She's a pig of a woman, but then again, what woman with an ounce of honor or class would want to be associated with the filthy greedy lying pigs of men in the GOP.

    Can any of the trumpers explain this to me ? @Trader_Jorge @Commodore . All the right wingers are claiming the indictment is an automatic trump landslide come in 24. If that's the case why do you guys have to commit fraud to trick voters into voting??? There's going be such a massive backlash to trump indictment that Republicans will have to commit fraud to turn out their voters.

    it's just too funny at this point.

    My guess is that republicans will shift into a strategy of expanding their base. They will try getting us back to using leaded gas and lead based paint in schools. Heck, they may try banning colleges. Anything that will increase the amount of dumb in this country that allows them to get elected.

    Sadly their states are turning into dumpster fires. The only reason Texas isn't a shithole is because of the big cities bailing them out

    Mimicking an emergency alert for political ads is stupid and dangerous; it is completely inappropriate to mess around with the emergency alert system graphics and sounds for anything else but a real emergency.

    Republicans text 'Wisconsin voter alert' election message (jsonline.com)

    As Wisconsin braced for tornadoes, Republicans text 'Wisconsin voter alert' complete with emergency tones

    I hadn’t heard anything about the WI GOP fake weather alert. We had pretty rough weather blow through Mn and most WI last night so whether it’s legal or not seems like a pretty bad move.

    I think they’ve given up on expanding their base. I think they really believe they they represent the majority. It’s why so many are convinced that the last election was stolen because “no one they knew would vote for Biden..”

    even Trump himself doesn’t believe deep down that republicans are the majority even if he tries so hard to speak it into existence

    Didn’t he say republicans would never win another election if it was easier to vote?

    the mindless drones might believe the election was stolen, but most of the people pushing the lies don’t as revealed by the Fox News lawsuit

    The base believes it and as what the evidence shown by the Dominion lawsuit many of the “thought leaders” are actually more concerned about catering to the base than to actually trying to inform or guide them.

    I’ve long felt that Trump hasn’t really shaped the Republican Party has exploited existing trends in it.
