Ebola, caravan, race, can Republicans use the same fear twice?
So if they donāt use one of the fears that they used before, whatās the next fear?
Or do they recycle them?
Will the next one be gay people?
Muslims?
Marriage?
Anyone?
Like Ford, the caravan disappeared from the headlines as soon as it ceased to be useful to the democrats.
Wrong.
This fails as a false comparison fallacy.
Sexual assault and the attacks on Ford are a legitimate issue, nothing ācontrivedā by Democrats.
Indeed, the issue of sexual assault and the propensity of conservatives to disbelieve and attack women who make claims of sexual assault remains an issue for Democrats after the election.
Thatās not the case with the āinvading caravan,ā which was a non-issue, nothing but a manufactured ācrisisā ā a lie contrived and propagated by Trump, Republicans, and rightwing media to motivate the conservative base by exploiting their bigotry and unwarranted fear of immigrants.
