About their victim-based, absolutist slogans/jingoism

[Fire Walk With Me]

They have well-paid people making up this shitty jingoism. It always makes one side the bad guy, inarguably bad, and paints the speaker as a victim. It's always absolutist. "Support our troops" while their orders are illegal. "Class Warfare" while they're the 1%. Verbal bullying.

What are the books about this subject? "Crack the Code"? I'd like some good advice on how to twist this crap right back around upon them.

Edit. FFS, I'm not talking about learning to do what they do and turn it upon them; I just want to be able to be effective in shooting down their when it occurs. Look how we've bought their "class warfare" bullshit. They're winning...

1. How much like them would you like to be?

2. Come on. I want to defuse their absolutist crap, not become one of them.

For instance, "The next time someone boos at a gay US soldier, remind them 'Support Our Troops' is an absolute."

Doing nothing is not the answer.

3. Indeed. Unfortunately, people seem to ignore jingoism when it comes from our side. nt

5. You mean like Democrats saying BrINg THe TRooPS HoME ! in 2006?

Which won them the midterms?

It works just fine when they want it to

6. Very good point. We need this more than ever, full-time.

7. ...

and on your edit? The Democrats should have been the FIRST to exploit the class warfare talking point. They all but said it during Obama's campaign, and that's what got him votes. Too late now. :-(

8. Yeah. So, how do we turn it around? I see the mechanism, I see its results, how to turn it?

9. Not as much as you! nt

10. CNN: "Massive Rioting Possible in US?" They're demonizing the protesters, spreading fear.
