Stop Bringing a Picket Sign to a Psyop Fight — TLDR
Yesterday's tactics can't win today's information war.
This is the TL;DR for Stop Bringing a Picket Sign to a Psyop Fight. Check out the full, evidence-backed article for all the receipts and full arguments behind my claims.
This isn't politics. It's a psychological war—a psyop fought on the battlefield of your screen. While we’ve been debating, they’ve been dominating. They understand that the war for America is a war for attention, and they are winning.
Our strategy is tragically outdated. We still rely on the picket sign—the noble street protest, a brilliant tactic for a bygone media era. We also engage in the "principled retreat," abandoning social media platforms to protect our peace of mind. But the data is clear: the vast majority of Americans are still on the platforms we left. Our retreat was a self-imposed exile, handing our enemies the keys to the kingdom.
Their strategy is a rocket car. They use a simple, brutal playbook: tell emotional stories, name tangible enemies, and repeat their message relentlessly across every digital channel, 24/7. They know this isn’t a debate to be won with facts; it’s a reality to be constructed with propaganda.
This is not a game. The goal of this psyop is to reprogram minds, build a fascist army of true believers, and pave the way for real-world violence. Online dehumanization is the blueprint for physical conflict.
The choice, then, isn't if you'll be part of this, but how. Waiting for a politician, the media or the courts won't work. The solution is you, on the real battlefield. You don't have to argue with every troll. Just show up. Return to the digital spaces, follow the voices still in the fight, and amplify them. Like their posts. Repost them. Add one pro-democracy message a day and don't even read the replies. Your presence is your power. With the regime’s support cracking, now is the perfect time for this strategic comeback.
