    Pretty clear that lies like "They're rioting right now" (Trump) and "record number of migrants" (Pompeo) are just designed to stoke racist fears - and thus, turnout - in advance of the midterm elections.

        They say the things that would have to be true to justify the actions they want to take. It’s the political version of cops yelling “stop resisting!” at people before beating them up.

        Not false, but also a prelude in many societies to state action. Not necessarily out of conspiracy or even airtight deception, but rather out of indifference.

        He may succeed in stoking turnout, but not for the group he intended.

        Yup. The GOP always show up. It's the Ds that fail to turnout in non-Presidential elections. Too much complacency in 2016, but no complacency in 2018.

        I suspect that the media showing lines of Latinos for early voting in FL and NV in 2016 did a lot to activate fears of whites losing power and motivate higher white turnout than there otherwise would have been.

        Maybe, but would be difficult if not impossible to prove.

        I agree that it would be impossible to prove, but it would be interesting to see whether Fox made a lot of those lines of early Latino voters in the days immediate before the election.

        Most importantly, this shows the failure of most media to plainly state that POTUS is flat out lying and acting like a lunatic.

        White people are the ones rioting; not sure how you spin that as racist.

        Perhaps it will backfire, with Q-swilling MAGA-voters too afraid to leave the house b/c they think there are tens of thousands of illegal immigrants rioting everywhere.

        There are real numbers here- population size of Tampa coming over border illegally this yr, and that's just the ones apprehended. What's your solution?: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration …

        Authoritarian fear tactic with NO basis in fact. More of the same criminalization of immigrants to achieve amoral ends. He wants the GD wall

        And ppl whom they are feeding the lies to would have no means of confirming the info since they have little or no way of evaluating the info with reality so we are stuck in uninformed eq, Akerlof style. @Moshe_Hoffman @bradleveck

        He’s saying that his own supporters are rioting though, not immigrants/minorities.
