Pre-emptive framing -- Trump's billionaires employ genius-level sociopaths for their media messaging, disinformation, and propaganda.
The taxonomy of a Trump announcement to reframe media messaging for disinformation & propaganda
Cartoon of Trump being first out of the gate reframe narratives.
@dangillmor
Media shareholders ALWAYS come from money which in their view ALWAYS needs to suppress the left.
@dangillmor e.g. Project 2025.

"All Republicans do is donor maintenance.
Gifting descendants a trust fund at birth is how dynasties evade taxation.
Trump was a millionaire at age 8.
It grows the wealth of the 1% . "

@dangillmor social security was set up not as part of government so not even thatctraitor has a right to meddle in how it operates. But due to republican greed ans corruption they found a loophole under Regan and owe social security trillions plus interest. It needs to be repaid so our seniors don't have to live in poverty. Stop trying to steal more corrupt trsitor
@dangillmor Thomas Paine's Agrarian Justice of 1797 proposed annual benefits of £10 (worth £1,605.64 in 2025) for people over 50 and £15 (£2,408.46) for those who turn 21, in a time when the average wage for an agricultural worker was £23 (£3,692.97) and 20-30% of the total workforce.
Trmp's plan is $1000 at birth and "a back door to privatizing Social Security," according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, although he's walking that home truth back.

@dangillmor well, unfortunately, it's all lies.
Lie one, they're not going to privatize social security.
Lie two, there's going to be any form of social security.
Lie three, any statement that their intent isn't to completely destroy social security and steal every penny paid into it.
