It's called the 'Gish Gallop.'

The best way for the Right to defeat the Left in an argument is to unload a torrent of lies, half truths, complete nonsense, and other disinformation. The idea is to overwhelm the other side's ability to form a coherent response, because there's too much to unpack.

Trump knows Kennedy is an idiot, but he's a useful idiot in that he forces the Left to deal with him.

Also, free range kids are likely to be reported by 'concerned' neighbors.

Pretty soon, 'Stand By Me' and 'The Goonies' are going to be classified as dangerous propaganda.

Rich parents can afford nannies who force the children to interact with them.

Poor parents use TVs and smart phones to amuse their kids.

USSR imploded with little help from the West.

Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan; Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown; Chernobyl wasn't sabotaged; the old guard who went against Gorbachev hated the West more than anyone.
