The Brainwashing Scene (1974)

Something about this film scene comes straight out of Donald Trump - Take Back America propaganda film I posted earlier. The same kind of psychological trickery, fast flashing photos and films, dramatic music. I could see how it would excite a crowd.

Gallup: Voters shift to preferring Republicans over Democrats : NPR

A new Gallup analysis examined how Americans' partisan preferences shifted over the course of the year 2021, with findings that indicate momentum for Republicans heading into this midterm election year.

Gallup found that Americans' partisan preferences were relatively stable when looking at the entire year 2021. But when the year was broken down into quarters, there was a discernible shift. In the first quarter of 2021, Democrats had a 9-point advantage over Republicans, but by the final quarter of the year that had shifted sharply to a 5-point Republican advantage, according to Gallup's aggregate data.

 

Donald John Trump signs

While I’m no fan of Donald Trump, I have to admire the homemade roadside signs and displays you see in favor of his candidacy along rural road sides.

There is something neat about home painted signs or even displays like that of a model Donald Trump riding a snowmobile in North Brookfield, NY or riding a fake missile in Bald Eagle, Penna. It’s just piles of junk bolted together but it shows creativity and passion, far more than just store bought political sign placed on a lawn briefly before chucked in a burn barrel or sent to the landfill.

New Yorker writer Jane Mayer says the Arizona audit is an unprecedented undertaking, with potentially explosive consequences for American democracy.

Mayer notes that although the audit appears to be the work of local extremists, it's actually being funded by sophisticated national organizations whose boards of directors include some of the country's wealthiest and highest-profile conservatives.
