Reposting this guide because we need to learn about these tactics, how to recognize them and realise how we're being played. Read the whole thread, we can all benefit from it. GOP aren't the only ones using it.

It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Whereas the aggregated polls show her vying with Libs and NDP and Cons leading at times. Check the history in your riding , it’s likely the NDP you want if you are ABC voting

As I suspected , the aggregated strategic voting polls are skewing results. Based on last time, plus national polls, on Vancouver Island they are showing 3 way races but traditionally it’s NDP vs Con with the exception of Eliz May in Saanich Gulf Islands. Her own recent poll showed her in the lead 🧵

If you want great informative nature-oriented content , and want to welcome someone to Bluesky who has big platforms elsewhere, follow Ross. He also has a Patreon I support since this is a side passion project that he manages to fit in, around working on river restoration projects….
A great lesson we could all take from these trees 🙏

Huh! Who knew?
We’ve Been Here Before Dep’t: In 1890 the Republican-led US government imposed draconian tariffs on Canadian goods, with the idea that these tariffs would make Canada more reliant upon, and eventually become part of, the United States.
