On this episode of Cuckoos 4 Politics, Sam Jean returns for the second half of the conversation about the many issues currently going on in the state of Florida. Conservative canvassers are going around to elderly and Hispanic communities, changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. This leads to further discussion about how Republicans project their machinations onto Democrats as part of a strategy, including assuming that any election loss is a result of voter fraud, or of flooding the polls with Democrat-voting undocumented immigrants.
Another element of Republican strategy is one of demoralization, sending a message that there are more of ‘us’ than ‘them,’ so don’t bother voting against us. This is in lieu of any concrete plans or proposals. When one boogeyman doesn’t work, like Black Lives Matter, Republicans put the blame on ANTIFA. Sam also blames the media for its complicity in perpetuating the message.
Listen to the two friends discuss why Trump is still a likely Republican nominee despite being twice impeached, and further instances of hypocrisy on the part of Republicans.
