One of the many horrible lessons on authoritarian/autocratic/fascist tyranny that we are being taught by the noxious Former Guy is a fundamental propaganda deceit that seems to stem from the Nazi propagandist, Goebbels - accuse the other of what you are guilty of.
- Is Trump guilty of trying to overthrow the government? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Was Trump impeached? Have his House supplicants impeach Biden;
- Is Trump guilty of graft and corruption feeding millions and billions of dollars to his children? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump fading into Alzheimer's dementia (like his father before him)? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump threatening to destroy the Justice System and use it to crush his opponents? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump promising to end presidential elections? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump guilty of violating the Espionage Act by stealing, hoarding, and possibly selling top secret military secrets? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump the greatest threat to Democracy in the world? Accuse Biden of the same;
- Is Trump guilty of etc. etc. etc. etc? Accuse Biden of the same.
A good rule of thumb is that Trump's accusations are actually public confessions. It's nice of him to keep us up to date on his crimes and planned crimes.
The idea of the propaganda accusation lies is not to convince us on the other side that the lies are true - we know the propaganda is lies. And it is not to convince the cult to believe the propaganda lies - they either don't care or they already believe the lies.
The point of the lies is to confuse those who don't pay that much attention - who never follow politics and news - or who can't take it anymore and turn away from the endless, persistent, overwhelming flood of shit being sprayed on them every day - or who don't trust that they know enough to make good decisions. So they say "What the Heck, this side says this and that side says the that, who knows? Just a pox on both sides - there's probably something to it..."
Viola! you end up with a successful tyrannical overthrow of American democracy and the rule of law.
But it will fail. He and his avid cult are just too disgusting, I believe, to appeal to any other than themselves.
