The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

in the one area gop propaganda may have once been competent (lightweight social media), they are now also losing.
this has gotten to the point where even cbs sunday did a piece on how much better iran is doing globally.

i have little doubt that, if not surpressed by rightwing twitter,facebook, etc...these foreign productions would even be popular with MAGA that goes for political themed entertainment not requiring independent thought.

although i am not on any of these social media sites, it appears that a group named 'explosive media' took up the challenge once trump attempted to video-gamify the iran war. content from this group (lego-themed rap music) is usually reported as being the most popular.
and it became clear those gop donors are not getting their money's worth, but being completely grifted by many (including the departed noem who failed to send trump his cut).

in the end, i guess the gop propaganda does not have to be better than iran or foreign sources, just better than what the dems produce for minimally cognitive americans.
