The handcuffed Steve Brannon has maybe the best quote from the Trump years, which he is still using. When confronted with uncomfortable, maybe even treasonous, information regarding Trump, he said “flood the zone with sh*t” to defer and deflect the media. It didn’t matter whether it was true or not. It was never true. It only mattered that it came quickly and in volume. You can see the strategy at work today as Republicans come up with the reason du jour to excuse Trump’s stealing of highly classified materials, some revealing our most sensitive nuclear secrets.
Maybe the Democrats should take a page from Bannon as we approach the mid-year elections? Maybe they should flood the zone with fa*cts. Abortion kills women. Republicans deny climate change, and vote against actions to mitigate it. Republicans favor guns over children. January 6 was an insurrection. Republicans want to repeal health care, and raise taxes on middle America. Republicans want to sunset Social Security and Medicare. Trump is a guilty of fomenting the insurrection and profiting from it. Trump is the subject of numerous criminal investigations. Trump cut taxes on the rich and corporations, exacerbating the national debt. Mitch McConnell delegitimized the Supreme Court. Trump did untold damage to the institutions of government that keep us safe like the DoJ, the FBI and the CIA. Trump lied about and totally mismanaged the pandemic. The Republican Party traffics with white supremacists. Republicans voted against reducing the prices of critical drugs. Republicans have no agenda.
Republicans need to be careful about shoveling sh*t into the wind because the winds are changing.
