Boss
Take a Memo:
I'm sure it's something they've learned from Rules for Radicals. Over and over, we see the same tactics from the left....
To exploit a tragedy to promote the agenda--
1. Emotively blame the right, make everything the fault of right-wing policies, republican politicians, and the "stupid, mouth-breathing, knuckle-draggers" who vote for them. Don't forget to toss in the "Bible-thumpers!"
2. Take an authoritative Fascist tone and tell the right how things are GOING to be, avoid civil discourse.
3. When the resistance comes, pretend that you're the reasonable one and the righties are becoming unhinged. Deny that you want to do exactly what you want to do and insist they are crazy for suggesting such a thing!
4. Call for civility and bipartisanship.
5. Repeat the process over and over again.
