It's bait.

They probably have an explanation tweet at the ready to make more sense of it. They just want enough 'hurr durr these idiot" comments before they reverse Uno card this with more context.

Based on all that has been going on, I feel like they don't really have the capacity to think more than one step ahead. They do sth stupid and then they usually follow up with "lol joke" or "lol you can't understand"

Wait, seriously?

I don't get how people don't see this stuff. Yea the average trumpet isn't out there planning Jack shit. But there are think tanks that are. Remember anti-smoking campaigns. Anti climate change campaign. The precision to purchase advertising into key areas and specific demographics that would spread a message. This is ancient knowledge with modern technology.

Imagine a room full of former Wall Street, quants, established experts from fields like behavioral science and psychology. All with the singular goal to decide where to dedicate a dragons horde of wealth to maximize effect in a world where we all have anonymous pipes directly into our eyes and ears. We never stood a chance. There's no rich socialist funding think tanks. There's no counter. We can laugh at the yokel all we want. But the yokel is being puppeteered by some scary fuckers with intention to seize power with the new shifting Zeitgeist. Soldiers don't need to think. But their generals are. The left are like guerilla fighters going up against an imperial army full of Patons and Eisenhower's.

Cambridge analytical, heritage foundation, international democracy Union. We're fucked until we actually recognize why we're fucked
