Astroturfing for Covid-19


People noticed how protest groups around the country all used printed out signs with the same fonts.  It is an astroturfed movement.


Explanation of astroturfing:


And of course the poisonous, dangerous Fox News would be part of it:

They are mad. There is over 40.000 dead and they want carte blanche.

Trump is insane and stupid to support this. It would harm him electorally when it fails and more people die and you have to lockdown again

If only the Dems didn't choose Senile Joe to be their candidate. Trump was good for trolling the SJWs during good times but it's now time to get rid of the moron and his airhead family

It's OK, Jason - I am expecting Biden to win the election (and I really think he will - Trump's performance on COVID is convincing no one with a brain, and Democrat turnout is going to be very high), and if he really does get worse during office, VP Warren can take over...

American managed with an Alzheimers President under Reagan - it all depends if you have enough competent people around him to keep things going. Of course, Trump never has, and never will.

These morons are protesting against Trump's own guidelines of course the moron in chief would not know that or understnd that if told to him

To Soony's point.
He is not senile. He has been making those type of comments all his political life. Planet america showed that.

Ads will determine the next election and there was a beauty put out showing Trump's inaction on the virus. he tried to s top it.
more will come via bloomberg's money.

what a lot of people have missed is trump at no time has tried to reach out to those many people who did not vote for him.There have been record swings against Republicans in very safe seats let alone swing seats.
If few people vote then that is a strategy that could work.the virus may help in that regard more sn if the Supreme court rules against postal votes.

Yes, Homer. Nothing I have (yet) seen convinces me there is a major problem with Biden's mental functioning.

That won't stop conspiracy mongers of the Right convincing themselves that he is ready for the nursing home - look at the garbage they circulated regarding Hilary being virtually ready for the deathbed.

What I think will be very interesting is whether Trump bunks out of debating him - unlike with Clinton, where he could get away with making any right wing "motherhood" statement, there is now such a mass of contradictory Trump statements (and former staffers with insiders stories of his incompetence) accumulated over the last 3 years, any well enough prepared opponent can just shoot him down easily over his continual boasting and lies.

He has already hinted that he won't do debates again, and I doubt he will - no doubt citing the "unfairness" of the "fake media" moderators. His rusted on band of culture war supporters won't care, but it will also deprive them of any mis-statement of memory slip that Biden might make which they would otherwise have used to question his mental health.

debates do not move polling however ads do.

I predict there will be a plethora of ads showing up the Trumnp contradictory statements on the virus.

I suspect they will be devastating

For the love of Christ, you two old fools are so dotty, you cannot recognise a person so demented, that soon he will be shitting his pants and unable to dress himself. This is not a driving test and he could never pass a driving test. You cannot have a President with dementia. Even you two stupid old men ought to be able to work that out. If they make a fellow with dementia the President, clearly thats mocking us even more than when they made a man the first lady.
