    This election cycle — when researchers have found Black voters are being heavily targeted by political disinformation — it is crucial to not turn “communities against one another,” Johnson said.

    The only way republicans can win is by turning communities against one another. Finding wedge issues to turn groups of Americans against each other is the main tool in their tool box.

      That’s the deal with all the nonsensical lying Trump does.

      You take a focus group, find out what upsets everyone most but also seems plausible or conforms to some bias. What ever that is you feed into the disinformation machine then Trump seeks it out and latches on to it.

      Your welcome, you have the whole picture now.

      What do you want from Republicans - a party that hasn’t stopped trying to eat each others’ faces throughout the past 3+ years? You want a platform? Ideas?

      Oh wait…that’s Project 2025 and they would rather we steer clear of discussing that.

        any other election - when the party base suggests treason (proj 2025) - you’d think that would be the end. Why isn’t this every response to any undecided voter?

    He also followed that up with a line about immigrants coming after Hispanic jobs. I don’t know how any “debate” can be taken seriously when a candidate can say shit like that and the immediate follow up question isn’t, “Mr. Trump, what is a Black or Hispanic job?”.
