The Republican plan is to take up all the oxygen in the media while people are vacationing and enjoying good weather outdoors. Why? That’s when lies and domination thrive. Don’t let them by you!
Diane K24: Below, in answer to Ms. Pamela Leavy, you state:
"Yes, my grandparents were Republican before the Kennedy election 1960, and the propaganda was so bad that they switched parties."
Well, in 1960, Armando was 12-years-old; very politically aware; my Mom cried when JFK was elected -- with a John-Birch-Society-borne fear, JFK meant the End of Democracy and our fall into Communism (rather strange, since the Catholic JFK was very anti-Communist).
In Armando's 12-year-old world, every issue of the slick John-Birch Monthly, "American Opinion," would show a chart of exactly how saturated with Communist i-n-f-i-l-t-r-a-t-i-o-n (from OZ: "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! . . . ) were the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the CIA . . .
Nothing in Q-Anon is new from 70 years ago to the 76-year-old Armando.
Other than my wonder, having shed that cloying strait jacket circa 55-years-ago, how can people be so very gullible and fall into the oppressive and wasting disease of conspiracy theory?
Disinformation is not new. Disinformation just uses newer technology.
Armand, you and Pam are right. We lived in a rural area where literally little yellowed papers were put in mailboxes (illegally) by kids on bikes doing their parents bidding I presume.
They have been doing this forever. The right. Disinformation is there thing. Long before there was the internet, but it is worse now because of the internet.
Yes, my grandparents were Republican before the Kennedy election 1960, and the propaganda was so bad that they switched parties. Too bad people today cannot spot propaganda when it appears. Back then it was yellow press: today it’s everywhere.

Thanks for the link. I enjoy listening as a break from reading.

My mom loved JFK. I grew up in Kennedy country - Massachusetts.
My mother and I loved the Kennedy family.
