Policing Speech: Why Does The Far Right Attach To Culture Issues?

The Nazi Republicans have figured out that if they control the culture issues they then can control the politics It’s part of the Republican Nazi propaganda playbook of the current regime For this to be exposed is detrimental to their agenda so when CBS/Fox 2 refused to air an interview done by Colbert with D running for Senate James Talarico(https://bit.ly/3MBeCr1) Colbert’s team put it out on YouTube

As a Guardian article(https://bit.ly/49qifHt) discusses the far right uses seemingly innocent cooking videos or music to engender following the ideology of extremism Even using AI to generated material can be expanded to get out the message to various societal interest groups such as tradwives

So the short answer as to why culture issues are used as propaganda campaign ploys is “because it sells” A study being conducted in 6 European countries on the far right movement is delving into how the far right has used propaganda material on culture issues to “bring people along” in fostering a relationship with various groups in a population They have even started their own food delivery services

Here in the US we have seen similar far right approaches to latch onto various divisive cultural issues such as women in solitary domestic roles, diet issues because America is too fat, LGBTQ+ controversy and transgenders in sports, and even the childhood hits such as SpongeBob Squarepants and colored M&M’s promoted by such channels as the Fox propaganda network For example Fox Sports creates a following of NFL football as an entry point in order to bring the audience along to engage them on far right agenda items

But these issues are just propaganda to distract us from realizing they are picking our pockets, gutting our schools, destroying our healthcare while they give tax breaks for their billionaire donors, pardon the wealthy for convicted crimes and raise taxes on all the rest of us

The real fight is not right vs left, it’s top vs bottom

Trump is a pillar of ignorance and certitude.

When Trump is impeached, convicted, and removed from office, every single asset he gained while in office should be forfeited. Being removed from office is not enough.

These are beautiful analogies of all Presidents that were way better speakers than our leader. When they spoke people could listen NOT question what they were saying. And they were positive NOT condescending! That is what we NEED in a leader of our country. Not a leader that just talks about himself and expects a pat on the back!

There is a Presidency out there suitable for Regime Leader Trump, in fact quite near by: Trump can be the president of the Blue Plains Regional Sewage Treatment Facility. He has already proven he knows the business and would be quite at home with the clientele. If he proved himself, the facility could be renamed the Donald Trump Human Waste Treatment Center.

Trump has developed a vast private financing network that will enable him to carry out his mission of destruction independent of Congress. This is why it is beyond critical that the Dems must decisively win the House in the mid-terms.

He obviously pales in comparison to many of his predecessors.

What a wonderful reminder, through the words of previous presidents, of the kind of person who should be president of the United States. Thank you for laying it out so well. When did we forget that character really matters.

First and foremost we need a Congress that will work at overriding Trump's ridiculous changes. For all the talk of past Presidents, it means nothing without a Congress that will work for the people of this country. If it weren't for LBJ this country would not have Medicare/Medicaid benefits. He worked the Congress until it passed the necessary laws to assist those who did not have anything. And they were substanial laws that gave rights to those that did not have any. The very laws that Trump is working to reverse and those he has reversed, to control we the people. There is also the problem with the 2025 manifesto. Those are the people that must be removed, except there is one problem, JD Vance. And if the Congress removed him, God help us, the Speaker of the House becomes President. We need a Congress that will override Trumps mandates that have literally affected our standing in the world and removed us from any global influence. Removing Trump's power is what this country needs to right the wrongs of Trump and his cronies.

Beautifully said. The words from past Presidents give hope. Thanks, Edwin. Take care.

Thank you Mr. Eisendrath for the article! I agree we should send him a message! When he is voted out office, he should be imprisoned! Especially for he times he has, lied , cheated and hurt, and made excuses of why people are dying in concentration camps! He also made a terrible mistake with the gun lobby, that man should not have had a gun! I am not a member of the NRA, I think this administration is on its last legs!
