Those who don't know at least a little bit of comms, are missing out big time. I'm no comms expert, but good stuff is coming. (To begin, just begin reading any of the posts about comms, and link-surf from there until you get the hang of it.)
For the DS, getting vaccinated means switching to join the patriots. Even Biden's death & destruction tweet should be read that way.
Trump's vax message, as direct as it is, is his final warning to anyone in the DS: their window to flip is closing. Allowing them to flip ("get vaccinated") was initially a wartime need, a tactic, but also an act of mercy to them, especially now. Biden's tweets welcoming Commander to the WH (a police dog holding a blackmail comm in his mouth), and a lookalike Hillary singing (look at the WH singing nurse Christmas tweet), followed by Trump's tweets with military on his side, all mean that ops are wrapping up. Be of good cheer, everyone!
Important acknowledgement: the real world is not the comm world. Reality needs time to catch up. Covid killed people, real world vax killed and damaged others. This was and is a propaganda war, a real one. To anyone who thinks propaganda is soft war, just contemplate how America lost in Vietnam. Propaganda and the war for minds is mighty precisely because it seems soft, entering your mind like a thief in the night, but it ends with Khmer Rouge killing fields if the country loses, or America the Beautiful when victorious. Both sides took up positions on the fronts of Covid and the supremely important flank of Vaccine, and both sides suffered real world damage, changing strategies as it happened. In this psychological and propaganda war of faith vs fear, it sucks to be behind enemy lines. Losses, and our suffering, are real. But the good guys, and the police roundup, are almost here! Lots of good news!
And Merry Christmas to all!
Losses are real and it all comes down to believing.
Also, covid killed no one.
I disagree with you on that, but understand your perspective. I do believe it was way more smoke than fire, but still some real fire to feed the fear. The truth will come with time.
