>“Republicans don’t do dirty tricks”
>“How 'bout this?”

Giuliani spent $2m to set up a 'Voter Integrity Committee' headed by Randy Levine, current president of the New York Yankees baseball team, and John Sweeney, a former New York Republican congressman.

“So they went through East Harlem, which is all Hispanic, and they gave out little cards, and the card said: ‘If you come to vote, make sure you have your green card because INS are picking up illegals.’

Republicans Did Something Most People Don’t Like, So They’re Changing the Rules

Rep.strategist had to limit voting on college campuses and tighten rules for voter registration and mail-in ballots. Only then, she said, could Republicans level the playing field for the 2024 presidential election. “The left has manipulated the electoral systems to favor one side — theirs,” she said in her presentation. “Our constitutional Republic’s survival is at stake”

BEWARE OF THE THIRD PARTY BS. IT’ S A RUSE OF THE RIGHT!

Rick Wilson gets the appeal of a third party in an age of hyper-partisanship.

“If you hear ‘No Labels, Problem Solvers,’ it sounds great, doesn't it?” he said.

But the former longtime Republican strategist, who in 2019 co-founded the Lincoln Project to fight the GOP’s growing autocratic impulses of the Donald Trump era, is issuing a dire warning about a group promising to promote bipartisanship.

Aaaand that's Buzzfeed deleted from my newsfeed -- not that it was ever "news," but it was a guilty pleasure:

"This announcement comes after Buzzfeed laid off 12 percent of its newsroom in December, blaming 'challenging macroeconomic conditions.' On Monday, news broke that Meta, Facebook's parent company, has been paying Buzzfeed millions to help generate creator content for Facebook and Instagram."

Pegasus -- the Israeli company behind some of the world's most evil* spying software -- is moving it's management to London while the five companies involved will remain under Luxembourg law.

They claim it's for "administrative reasons".

@crybaby Some years back I posted about a supposed "Tactics for Conservative Blogging" playbook.

I can't vouch for the authenticity of the piece. The tactics themselves seem plausible however:

The Reactionary Political Debate Playbook: Karl Rove's Bag of Dirty Tricks

The most useful things to pull from this as I see it are:

• Recognise when this is happening. Our default is to assume genuine and good-faith discussion.
• Don't waste your time, energy, and spoons.
• Not all research is wasted, and having ammunition to counter rhetoric can be useful. But it's all but certainly wasted on the trolls themselves.
• There are tactics for changing minds. David McRaney's written a book, How Minds Change: https://www.davidmcraney.com/howmindschangehome
