Mercer/Bannon’s Cambridge Analytica was testing “Drain the Swamp!” & “Build the Wall!” as campaign catchphrases in 2014.

That was a year before Trump campaign even existed.

So Trump isn’t just a foreign puppet; he’s also a domestic ventriloquist-dummy.

Wasn't Cambridge Analytica a UK based company as well?

Elections can be tipped by dumb-ass phrases that don't even mean what they say.

I don't know what the right counter-move is, but we need to stop thinking that we can sway many people with carefully-reasoned arguments.
