The campaign shifted tone, going after Biden with the ominous ads about cities in turmoil. Then he brought in the goon squads to create the turmoil depicted in the ads.

This is no different than the apprentice where contestants are given false challenges and the tape is edited to fit a preordained narrative.

At some point, it they can’t get the reality show contestants (i.e. citizens) to create the right “tone” for the show, they’ll bring in ringers and this will move from reality show to fully scripted nighttime drama.

It would not surprise me to learn that blackwater is staffing both sides of the charade. Playing protesters ready to incite violence, then arrested by anonymous forces, “prosecuted” in secret. There will be a few “extras” swept up and released to validate the story.

As this starts moving from city to city...watch the videos...just like his rallys, my guess is we’re going to start seeing the same cast members playing different roles. Look for the same guy carrying a fence, the same guy tossing a tear gas canister back. How many times have we seen the enthusiastic guy in the lumberjack shirt behind trump on stage?

It’s like the traveling broadway show...the same actors move from city to city and the audience gets wrapped up in the story, not thinking about the fact this guy sang “Room where it happened” in Syracuse last week and he’ll do it in St. Louis next week...we just mesmerized by tonight’s story.
