They know exactly how to communicate to their base. They spend millions and countless man hours figuring out ways to appeal to the lowest fears & desires of them. Devising talking points and framing issues with words and images to deceive and frighten them. Words which when uttered whip them into an orgasmic frenzy of misplaced anger and outright lies hammered into them by the corporate interests truly guiding this nations direction. It is after all only about money for them. There is no fellowship, no stewardship, no love or celebration of the founding principles or fathers or children of this country. Only deception, only obfuscation, only hate, only money.
With charity towards none and malice for all.
