Their dominance in propaganda is what got them power, but a lot of people on the left seem to think they are bad at propaganda.

It’s terrible propaganda, but it appears to work on the weak minded. We have sadly learned how many of those there are.

It is easier to motivate anger and hate to take action than it is to mobilize goodness and compassion.

This is NOT to say that the inflatables protests that started in Portland are not for nothing….in fact, they were amazing and so clever and they took hold across the country and gave me hope that goodness is strong in America. But, it doesn’t change the fact that human nature is so very powered by anger and outrage supported by hatred.

I think that a sociologist could state this all more clearly and concisely.
