Maybe this has been said before, if so, I'll delete my post.
A few weeks ago, Mike Lindell came out of the WH holding a document on which was written: Martial Law, Insurrection Act, put Kash Patel as Acting CIA director, etc. It was clearly staged. But suddenly, everyone started talking about it. Even newspapers here in France ran articles on this. They made fun of Mike Lindell, etc. But, the result is: everyone knows who Mike Lindell is.
Now, a few days ago, he goes on a show - where he was probably told not to speak about Dominion - and he did. Again, every newspaper cheers and writes articles about how conspiracy theorist, Mike Lindell, pillow merchant, was silenced, and how the host walked off. They're gleeful and happy. Result: people hear about him once again.
Now, today, he drops his video, with the bombshell news (for many out there) about foreign interference into the election. We all knew that, but seeing the documents by Mary Fanning and the graphs showing foreign interference was still pretty incredible. Mike Lindell repeats that this is an act of war over and over again.
OANN puts a disclaimer to the video: this disclaimer have got people talking about the video, more people see it (even if they don't believe it). They could just be doing it because they don't have the means to respond to a billion dollar lawsuit. (At the same time, Flynn does an interview saying there's no plan but to hold the wine). Also, Time Magazine says the election was rigged (fortified) but still rigged.
So, what if this is some serious genius Trump strategising, prepping the public for what Mike Lindell has now shown: that this is an act of war, so that the military can step in?
The gist of my argument is therefore the following: Mike Lindell shows this is an act of war. Because it is so, the military must act as they cannot let other countries interfere in the elections. Therefore, once things get going (and my idea here is that it is going to be soon soon soon - this is why the video was released), the public knows why. If they still haven't woken up, they can still go back to the video and watch it.
What do you think?
The public would only know if they watched it. OANN is not on my cable service. Most normies watch CNN or Fox or (getting to the outliers here) Newsmax. So how are people going to see it? Most people I know rely only on YT, they don't go to sites that sneek in hard core porn, like 8-kun/etc. So I think the idea that this is going to get widespread 'normie' distribution is wrong.
Because people on Twitter have been talking about it today, to show how false Mike Lindell's claim was, and to do so, they showed the OANN disclaimer. If things start happening, then, they'd still have heard about the video, and could still go look it up. It's not like they were suddenly hearing about, I don't know, Charlie Ward or something. Now, they know the guy, they remember him. The video is on Lindell's own website, which is where you'd go if you can't find the video. Also, that's why Mike Lindell has been calling to spread it far and wide.
Fair enough. Long before any association with Trump, I found Lindell to be an unpleasant guy to watch - nothing sinister, just a typical brash salesperson peddling a dubious product (I've bought myPillows and don't like them, and that retro 'jingle' drives me to insanity!). So I've always tended to ignore him. My normie friends also find him unpleasant - like everyone's worst idea of a used-car salesman. So the thought that normies would go out of their way to find and watch a video by him is a bit of a stretch. Their logic - if there's any substance, it'll be summarized on the MSM and I'll watch it on the 6pm news! Sad but true!
I don't agree with you. On the contrary, the fact that it's MyPillow guy doing it - the guy who overcame an addiction and went on to build a successful business - allows many people to relate to him, to see him as an honest guy. He speaks as any other citizen here.
When the military steps in, any normie out there will understand he's been missing something. So, while he'll act surprised, many of us won't, and that in itself will be a surprise. My response would be "but we knew this from a long time ago", so now you see why you can't trust the media; now, you should do your own research, and start with this (Navarro report, link to the video, etc)."
I understand why people find him unpleasant: it's the snobbery: he doesn't talk like someone who's been to a posh school, he doesn't represent them. But the guys who are on his video, they will relate to.
Regarding the pillows, I can't say, we don't have them in France, but pedes on PW love them.
Wow. Just wow. ???
The problem is, you are thinkong too deep. People are shallow. It doeant matter if he went to the gates of hell and reacued mother Teresa, if they dont like the way he sounds or looks, it loses something.
I love Mike, he just wont appeal to everyone.
Good news is, by the time it matters, cat will be out of the bag and plenty of others will be talking about it.
I fully appreciate his 'rags to riches' story and tip my hat to him for that. Love those stories. But his commercials with that tacky, retro jingle, and the intentional 'homey' style, is just very reminiscent of late night / early morning commercials for stupid shit like the 'clapper' light switch, or the 'Chia pet things, or whatever (you know, you fall asleep watching TV and wake up at 3am and are suddenly watching utter crap commercials on TV ...). I'm just saying, he doesn't have the best credibility with those commercials, totally independent of whatever message he has now. EDIT - I see you are in France. I lived in UK for many years. Europe just doesn't have the same 'late night TV commercials' we have in the US ... we are quite unique in that regard!

Right, expect it will trickle at first but normies have to be curious as they are seeing just how fucking ridiculous the Xiden admin is. Falling together nicely from my point of view.
It doesnt have to be at first. The idea is as much as possible now, and when it gets referenced, it just has to be out there. At least yt will have to allow for it eventually, demand will be high and it will lend more credibility if they continue to block.
Why do you think Lindell went on NewsMax the other day and then just shouted and shouted, causing the host to walk off? I saw that, and all it did for me was to paint Lindell as unhinged. I mean, I know he wanted to say something, but they clearly weren't going to let him, so, he should have changed his tune. By shouting like he did, he just painted a bad picture of himself. When people see that, and then you hear 'Lindell made this awesome video', a lot of normies just say 'that crazy fool'
Most people get their news from the internet now. Cable news is dead and has been for a long time.
I know that Cable news viewership numbers are fairly low (eg, Fox news something like 3 M people - not high). Do you have any credible stats to show where people DO get their news from? Remember, 'cable' is different from 'TV'. Cable = CNN, Fox, etc. TV = ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, etc. I've read that the single biggest online source is ... of all things ... Farcebook.
This article https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/11/key-findings-about-the-online-news-landscape-in-america/ from 2018 suggests "In 2018, 34% of U.S. adults said they preferred to get news online, whether through websites, apps or social media. That’s compared with 28% in 2016. (Television remains the most popular source of news, with 44% of Americans citing a preference for TV.)"
But the waters are muddied because you may go 'online' (to the 'internet') for news, but that could still be from a news site like CNN.com, Foxnews.com, etc. An awful lot of people get their news from their local news channels, both 'broadcast, on TV' and 'over the internet'.
Honestly, I don't know the last time I met someone who legit watches the news. Everyone in my circles knows it is all propaganda and advertising. Even liberals know it's all crap.
