Why did the parent make the off hand reference?
Republicans know if they keep repeating such remarks (or accusations) it will eventually will just be accepted as fact without requiring evidence because people hear it from so many different people over long periods of time.
They don't lie either, they just bring to attention a problem in a blue state or with a company considered to be liberal" and ignore similar issues elsewhere. T
Here's how it works with another example:
If you were to go to someone and ask "What city has the highest rate of car theft in 2022" they would probably say NYC or LA when in reality, it's Odessa TX (btw Republican mayor). This shows how this manipulation tactic works, it's based on exaggeration, stereotypes, and constantly streaming information.
Finally, they can then say, "don't vote for Democrats otherwise you'll end up like X city/state that has Y problem".
- goatlover 4y agoBut why make this political when the parent didn't say "Democratic" California or specify democrats as being responsible for the brown outs? Maybe they live in California instead of Texas? How do you know what their politics are?
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoI made the comment because I'm from California, and I don't think brown outs are catastrophic, and I think 99% renewable energy would be fine (better than fine? definitely not catastrophic).
- ars 4y agoOut here in the real world California has far more power problems than Texas. And yeah, it's basically because foolish environmentalist forced the closure of a number of nuclear plants in California.

This shows how this manipulation tactic works, it's based on exaggeration, stereotypes, and constantly streaming information According to this site[0], 3 of the 5 cities with the highest rates of auto theft were in California in 2020. Meanwhile, you constructed a strawman from a hypothetical question that some person would "probably" answer, and then complained about manipulation tactics. Do you see the issue here?
