their message is what people hear.

Because republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility and law and order, amiright? And why is that message so durable? Because they spread it constantly.

We need to get over the "ick." This is the world as it is, not as we wish it was. And if we don't meet it and fight it, it will keep getting worse.

It could even be done perfectly honestly. Some clever funny bot personality that is identified, but that amuses people as it gets the truth across.

So absent matching their bots with ours, and given that they own all the other media, how do we effectively counteract their message?
