Politically Aware Americans Have Understood This for Decades
In 2013, Rand Paul was speaking before a group of medical school students. At this time he told the students that “misinformation” could be a “great tactic”.
Rand Paul’s statements to the students has been no secret to those tens-of-millions of voters aware of this “great tactic”, which has been employed by the GOP for the past six decades. Paul himself spreads misinformation regularly, knowing it will not be questioned by those groups and individuals he is targeting.
It is no surprise Rand Paul is a fan of this “great tactic”. The use of misinformation by the Republican Party is the backbone of their Southern Strategy. The Southern Strategy grew from a blueprint developed during the mid 1960s by an assistant to a local politician in New York City.
Nationwide, the conservative voters have swallowed every falsehood fed them by Republican politicians and pundits since the GOP’s Southern Strategy went mainstream in the early 1970s. But, it wasn’t until trump entered the 2016 presidential race that conservatism went totally fact free.
Today, it is a rarity to hear the truth from any Republican, although, there has been the occasional Republican official forced to speak the truth when referring to trump and his Big Lie that Biden stole the 2020 Presidential Election. The truth is then told only as an attempt to refocus the party’s attention on the traditional goals of the GOP, and not on the needs and greed of trump and his criminal organization. South Dakota Republican Sen. Mike Rounds is a recent example of this GOP fallback to truth.
The Republican Party’s “great tactic” was hijacked by trump in 2015, when he first hit the campaign trail. And in the years since, trump has taken “misinformation” to levels GOP strategists never thought possible.
Perhaps this public admission by Rand Paul regarding his party’s “great tactic” might jolt some of the GOP’s less affected victims back into the real world. And while this possibility is remote, their responses to this OP will provide any evidence if this occurs.
