He added: "But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring."

(14,180 posts)Why? Because it actually works. At least for a significant portion of the population. I don't know the actual psychological reasons for this, but they know they have tapped into a powerful weapon against us.
They consistently accuse Democrats of exactly what they have been accused of. Sometimes they get ahead of the game, like Trump calling the election "rigged" before November. For two purposes, one is that if he lost, he could declare that he was robbed as he had predicted. And if he won, and anyone else declared the election rigged for him, they had no credibility because of the fact that they all scoffed at the idea when he said it.
But what it does is immediately put the Democrats, or other liberal groups and institutions that are targeted on the defensive. And the MSM feel compelled to waste time interrogating them on these fake accusations instead of focusing on what Republicans are doing. And it muddies the water over all. At the very least it stokes the myth that both parties are equally corrupt and duplicitous.

Notice that he keeps talking about how much he's accomplished but can't say specifically what it is?
