    You’re talking about a gish gallop… Invented long before Nixon by the Russians.

    But you’re also wrong in thinking its working.

    trump supporters are legitimately not happy with trump right now.

      Yeah I know it was I was just talking about the US and how it got supercharged after Nixon but goes back all the way to the 20s with James W. Fifield Jr. But I still think its working in the sense that reporters are not reporting on the shit he does and the ones that do are being drowned out the ones talking about the nonsense coming out of his mouth. It doesn’t mater if people like it or not they are still talking about it vs talking about the shit he and his cronies are doing.
