BE AWARE!

Propaganda Techniques:

False equivalency.
Bandwagon.
Testimonial.
Glittering Generalities.
Name Calling.
Plain Folks.
Card Stacking.
Transfer.

Mis-direction and deflecting.

Twisting the words of adversaries into falsehoods.

Tell a lie long enough so people will believe it.  Keep saying the lie over and over and over.

Beware of "I heard that . . . ", "Believe me."  Not listing sources . . .; and be aware of glib career politicians, Trump and / or Hillary.  Who is fooling us more?

I want a good conservative candidate, but I do not think it is Trump.

Then five (5) conservative newspapers dump Trump, USA Today, Arizona Republic, Cincinnati Enquirer, Houston Chronicle, and the Dallas Morning News.  Even Paul Ryan has dumped Trump; at least he will not campaign for Trump.

The United States never stopped being great despite what Donald Trump is saying.  The challenges are not new and the United States has always met any challenge.  The elitist governing politicians are bad for this country, true.  Government is bloated, absolutely!  Entitlements are out of control too.  But I love my country, and no one can say it is not great!  It needs repairs, but it is not broken!

Donald Trump spewed numbers in the second debate that made no sense whatsoever!  The United States has work to do, for sure, especially on infrastructure like highways and the electric grid.  That statement that America has never been worse off  is simply NOT based on facts.

For example, the fact is that our economy has slowly improved since 2008, allowing that GDP only grew 1.3% in 2015.  Are we sure any government could have done better?  Our military is better than any other on the planet earth, with an annual budget that will shock you!  How we use the military is the real issue!

Do we really think "rigged?"  Don't fall for that old trick.  We need to learn the facts.  What can we trust?

If Trump loses the election, it is because he "lost" it.  Trump lost almost $1,000,000,000.  That does not make him "smart!"  Can anyone really agree THAT is smart?  It is NOT!  How many people were hurt with that loss?  The money had to come from somewhere and go somewhere.  He says he was doing his "job", but I cannot believe he was doing good for anyone to lose that money.  If he made money rather than losing it he benefitted his "clients," right?  So if he loses he still benefits his clients?  Do you buy that?  Really?  As they say on the football show, "Come on man!"

Hillary did the wrong thing with emails, said things in speeches to Wall Street "winners" we will not like, allowed donations to her charity to be a vehicle for access to Government (like every Congressman does when elected; and no, donations did not go into her accounts), and was Secretary of State overseeing embassy in Libya when Benghazi happened.  Not good.

Maybe I am wrong.

Maybe I need to read more.

However, change for the sake of change NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES?  The situation in the United States is no where near THAT level crisis is it?

We cannot let ourselves be victims of propaganda.  We all must be BE AWARE!
