Maybe I don’t understand what the word “baseless” means. Hang on while I take a quick look. Here’s what Collins Dictionary has to say:
“If you describe an accusation, rumor, or report as baseless, you mean that it is not true and is not based on facts.”
Yup. That’s what I thought it meant.
I just finished watching a 4-hour video of a Senate Election Hearing in Pennsylvania. Dozens of citizens and experts testified that their either experienced or witnessed election fraud. President Trump called in and the room erupted into thunderous applause. He spoke for a few minutes outlining the election fraud that had been found in Pennsylvania and other states.
The headline on MSNBC says: “Trump calls into hearing, sounds off on baseless fraud claims via speakerphone”
The word “baseless” gets tossed around a lot lately. Whenever the Democrats or the mainstream media talk about the accusations of election fraud, they use the term “baseless” to describe it. It’s like they’re all reading the same teleprompter.
There are plenty of other words they could use that would convey the same message. They could use “false”, “unfounded”, “fabricated”, “groundless” or even “unsubstantiated”. In fact, using the word “false” would be more straightforward and, I think, send a stronger message of innocence. But the entire mainstream media and all the Democrats call the accusations “baseless”.
Hmm. Weird. So, what’s going on?
It’s a tactic from Marketing 101. If you want people to retain your message, you need consistency and frequency. That is, you repeat the same message as often as you can. If people hear something often enough, they’ll remember it, and, if the message is consistent enough, they’ll believe it.
We saw this exact same thing play out over the last four years. Liberals, and the mainstream media, repeatedly called Trump a racist. Everything he did and said was somehow turned into an example of racism. They really amped it up in the weeks before the election by continuously insisting that the President hadn’t disavowed white supremacist groups when, in fact, he had numerous times. Unfortunately, a lot of people ignored the facts and believed it.
Seeing how well that worked, the Democrats decided to use the same tactic again.
The Democrats need their followers to believe that they didn’t cheat. So, they are trying to convince people that the accusations aren’t true by using the word “baseless” to describe them as often as they can. And, a lot of people are ignoring the facts and believing it.
Apparently, they also think that their followers are stupid.
Most people understand how synonyms work. Multiple words mean the same thing. They could use any of the words I suggested above and their message would convey the same meaning. It appears that they believe that a typical Liberal’s vocabulary is so small they would get confused if the message varies in even the slightest way.
Here’s the thing, the accusations of election fraud aren’t baseless. In fact, their claims of it being baseless are themselves baseless. Election fraud was so pervasive that I challenge you to find a precinct where someone didn’t cheat. There are so many witnesses, experts and actual videos of wrongdoing that it’s unbelievable that anyone would claim that the accusations of fraud are “baseless”.
Unless, of course, they think you’re stupid.
