Non Sequiturs R Us

GOTV's nominee for the most distasteful campaign ad to date showed up yesterday.  Created and paid for by an organization called Citizens For Sanity, it outdid any other far-right, hate-filled, fear-mongering message.  Those like C for S who call themselves conservatives are no more than robots, directed by egomaniacs like 45 and his devotee, Tucker Carlson.

Carlson, who lionizes autocrats like Viktor Orban of Hungary, founded C for S.  Carlson 's mordancy lags only a micron or so behind Trump's and Orban's.   The ad in question uses the far right's go-to tactics:

  • demonizing Latino immigrants
  • portraying hordes of such folks massing at our southern border
  • accusing them of flooding our country with drugs and crime
  • falling back on the idea of replacement theory

But the hate isn't limited to one TV ad.  Far-right web sites (they don't deserve to be called conservative) engage in duplicity that's as severe.  Know who and what they are, and inform anyone who'll listen to reason.
