Hey! Remember when ALMOST EVERY Newpaper Endorsed HRC? No?
Maybe it's our message that needs work.

Or it's the shameless, illegal and gross fraud that happened to us on Election Day.

It's not OUR message. It's THEIR crimes.

Here's another brilliant idea sure to win in 2018.

Infiltrate their media
Ok, I had an epiphany last night - after watching Rachel. She showed a poll that Trump voters thought the unemployment rate had actually risen under Obama.

These people listen to no one except Rush and Fox. Trump knew that. He also knew that the press couldn't keep up with all his lies. He knew that with the internet age - there is so much information - no one can keep up - so lie, and then lie again.

Rush et al and Fox have also made people believe that everyone else out there is lying. You can't trust any information except what we say, even government statistics.

When was it that Hillary soared in approval? During her convention. That was when the Trump voters watched and listened to her - everyone did. Once that was over - they went back to Rush and Fox. and the lies and brainwashing resumed.

I think that the only chance we as Democrats have to win any of these people back is to somehow infiltrate that world of Rush and Fox - to come up with some kind of media that they will also watch and believe.

Warning...Trump might read your tweets!

Trump wants to read your messages. Download Signal to thwart him
DailyKos

    When President Barack Obama won, conservatives stocked up on guns and ammunition which were never taken away. Now, with big-time popular-vote loser Donald Trump headed to the White House thanks to our bullshit undemocratic system, stupid people are stocking up on different things, such as health care, and … communication encryption tools.

    By the time you finish reading this column, you would be foolish not to download the messaging app Signal onto your smartphone and computer.

    The free encrypted messaging service has won the acclaim of security researchers and privacy advocates, including Edward J. Snowden. All have said that Signal goes above and beyond other chat tools in keeping electronic communications private

    Some people have already cottoned on to this. Signal experienced a 400 percent jump in daily downloads since Mr. Trump won the election, according to Moxie Marlinspike, who founded Open Whisper Systems, the nonprofit that developed Signal. To Mr. Marlinspike, the surge in downloads reflects anxiety among Americans about the implications of Mr. Trump’s presidency for personal privacy.

    This is consumer-friendly encryption, working like any other messenger apps. So if you know how to message, you can use this app without worrying about complicated tech. In fact, the Signal tech is open source, and has been incorporated into several apps like WhatsApp and Google Messenger. But none are as secure as Signal itself.

    My biggest gripe about it is the lack of a Mac desktop app, since I actually do most of my chatting on my computer. There is an extension for Chrome, but I prefer Safari, so that doesn’t work so great for me. Also, I can’t install it on both my phone and iPad, though support for multiple devices is coming soon (supposedly). On the other hand, you can even make secure encrypted voice calls on Signal, which is pretty awesome.

    The security ramifications of our incoming neo-fascist president (not to mention Russian hackers, malicious Wikileaks, etc.) are severe enough that I’ll definitely be conducting my chatting and voice calls on Signal. You can download the app, which is free, here.

Hillary won the newspaper endorsement and exit poll vote in a LANDSLIDE.

As you Dumpmonkeys are fond of saying when it comes to the county-by-county results of red and blue, "Well, dirt doesn't vote."

Neither do newspapers or exit polls.

I get a kick out of them all up in arms about the hag getting "EVERY NEWSPAPER ENDORSEMENT!!!"

That alone is reason enough for most normal people not to have voted for her.

I mentioned something sometime in the fall about newspaper endorsements.  Do they really matter to the public anymore?  Did they really ever?  I suppose ages ago, before radio and TV.

I have learned something from this thread....

Conservatives: Lots'O gunz and ammo

Liberals: encryption tools on their smart phones for posting DU DUmbness.

Thank you, sir.

Happy to warn the lurking DUmmies that this libertarian is as uncompromising on the Second Amendment as any conservative.

There would have to be a high degree of trust toward the print media for endorsements to have any effect.  This is not the case, obviously.

I only buy the Sunday paper because I need the newsprint for pet care purposes. 

<---- Easily amused.  I take the pages with photos of Obama or Hillary or anybody like them, and place them under cat boxes strategically where, if a cat "colors outside the lines," said politician gets hit squarely in the face with it.

Infiltrate their media
Ok, I had an epiphany last night - after watching Rachel. She showed a poll that Trump voters thought the unemployment rate had actually risen under Obama.

She's right. It didn't rise, it freakin skyrocketed. The real unemployment number is probably 22%-25%. Many of those who are working get no more than 29 hours a week because of obamacare, and most of those are working more than one job AND being fined because they can't afford the "affordable" $800 per month premium with the $8k deductible.

These idiots truly amaze me.

Conservatives look at reality for their answers.  They evaluate how many people they see without jobs, who are working part time because they can't get full time, working multiple jobs, and having trouble meeting their health care premiums.  DUmmies ignore what is in front of their face as long as their favorite talking head will tell them something different.

And they WANT a civil war. They keep insulting us. They better hope we do not live up to what they think of us.

How did that work out? They better be eating crows as well!
