‘David Kord Murray, the owner of a small business-finance company in California, admits he likes to be different — “to take the contrary position.” Yet even he is surprised to have reached his latest conclusion — that while he strongly supported Hillary Clinton during the campaign, and voted for her without reservation, he now wishes he had cast that vote for Donald Trump.

“I like what he’s doing, and I wish I had voted for him,” he says. Not having supported Trump sooner, he says, makes him “feel like a coward.”’

The Demcrat media will be trying to shake the President’s base with propaganda such as this. They have failed in every special election this year. The base will turn out in massive numbers next year and exterminate the Democrat Party.

Propaganda works on weak-minded people.

Mock the hell out of them. Liberals are easy.
Summer of 2016 I was having the time of my life with liberals.

“You must vote for the smartest woman in the world. How can you not vote for the smartest woman in the world?”

“She is the smartest woman in the world, C’mon man!
Bernie is the smartest man in the world but that just makes you a sexist if you vote for him. It’s Gotta be Ole Crusty.”

They would stop me and say they were voting for dope-head Gary.

I told them that was probably for the best.

Liberals deep down know they are not very bright. Just follow the wind.

Propaganda works. We would be wise to keep that in mind.

If it didn't, they wouldn't pound us with it 24/7. E.g., there was this article in today's Atlanta paper:Syrian refugee girl safe in Georgia amid travel ban

If there were a significant shift in Trump’s support there would be people like this woman on the news every day. The media are desperate for these stories, but so far haven’t been producing many.

Only the intellectually and morally strong can withstand constant, relentless, ubiquitous propaganda.

Fortunately, millions of Americans are intellectually and morally strong. They elected President Trump.

We are worried about one person?
Remember the famous undecided guy in the red sweater at one of the debates. He came out for Hillary after the debate and the news media made a big deal of him. He sure was representative, wasn’t he?

Hope she experiences a rich, and rewarding one-on-one with one of those refugees the media changed her mind about.

"... withdrew her support after President Trump imposed the first travel ban."

The MSM, talking heads, pundits, most teachers/professors did a truly bang-up job of never letting the dust settle before they all jumped to their warped conclusions and dislike of the election, i.e.not Hillary. From that point on the message was so muddled with mendaciousness, even the Ninth Circuit out did themselves in providing strong basis for the now infamous lies...that that Muslims were banned. President Trump.." “To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”....Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Yemen, Iran,and Somalia....not for any religious reason other than these countries support radical terrorism AND most terrorist are Muslim.

If they were truly honest, they would only believe people who donated to his campaign. Otherwise, what is the proof that this person was a supporter?

It’s easy for us conservatives to mock this headline. But propaganda works. History has shown that. Propaganda works. We would be wise to keep that in mind.

True. But it cuts both ways. I know 2 single women who either didn't vote, or who voted for Trump but couldn't stand him, who are so fed up with the media's coverage that they are now very supportive (they still don't like him, but they respect what he has had to endure). I have no doubt that if they were to conduct an objective, unbiased sampling they would find both camps (moving away from Trump, and moving toward Trump) to be substantial -- but they will only acknowledge the first group.

Propaganda does indeed work, but it can also backfire. Only time will tell which it does, in this particular case.

We need to get back to a classic education system. Most of our founding fathers knew Greek and Latin. In the past the most educated individuals were the teachers who had real academic degrees. Until we fix our schools we will have mindless fools That will fall prey to the libs lies.
