Check out this piece of shit from the Republican committee in charge of electing House members:
Kapernick? Check. “Paid” rioters? Check. GEORGE SOROS THE JEW. Check.
Racism, anti-Semitism, and crazed conspiracy theories. If the target Democrat was a woman, there’d be sexism as well. I guess being a dude has its privileges, even when you’re in the crosshairs of the GOP slime machine.
But notice, the “paid angry mob” theme is becoming dominant among Republicans in the final weeks of the campaign. They are facing a massive popular resistance to their traitorous president and their anti-everyone policies. On style and in substance, the Republican agenda has alienated vast swaths of the public, and that public has risen up. The GOP has to discredit that uprising, lest it be forced to admit that it does not represent America and the values of its people.
Enter these crazy conspiracy theories about the “paid” leftist “mobs.” And the benefit of the “mob” analogy is that they can throw everything they hate into that mob—black and brown people, immigrants, women, Muslims, you name it. They’re there. ALL TOGETHER. ON YOUR FRONT LAWN!!!! (And Soros paid them, because they have to get their anti-Semitism in there as well.)
You know, we tried something similar in 2010, with liberals claiming that the tea party was a Koch-funded astroturf operation. I disagreed, that racist reaction to our first black president was always real, but many Democrats tried to run with it anyway. And it failed disastrously.
We’re not conservatives. Their brain is wired differently. But if this is what they’re closing with, it’s because they have nothing substantive to run on. Their tax cut is unpopular. Kavanaugh motivates our side as much as theirs (and loses them suburban white women). Mexico never paid for no wall. This is it: The boogeyman is out to get you, in a mob, paid for by Jewish money.
We fight back with GOTV and with money. But really, at this point, it’s mostly about GOTV. We get our people out and win big, or we don’t, and we lose a historic opportunity to reshape the future of American politics. It really is up to us.
