So, I've said many times that I think the modern 'conservative' right-wig political movement - which is the modern Republican Party - has only one real agenda, plutocracy, and uses countless issues and methods to get votes to they can have power for that agenda.
This example is a pretty good one for how it works.
The "Club For Growth" is a top plutocracy-advocating right-wing political organization whose purpose is to elect Republicans who will enact plutocracy. (Growth is a favorite propaganda word of the plutocrats, though ironically plutocracy reduces growth. But growth sounds good as a 'cause').
It was founded by 'advocates for plutocracy', and is backed wealthy pro-plutocracy donors. (Its top donors are two right-wing billionaires you probably never heard of, Jeff Yass and Richard Uihlein.)
Standard plutocrat agenda, refreshingly honestly admitted: "According to its website, the Club for Growth's policy goals include cutting income tax rates, repealing the estate tax, supporting limited government and a balanced budget amendment, entitlement reform (including Social Security reform, Medicare and Medicaid reform), free trade, tort reform, school choice, and deregulation.[6] The group has opposed government action to curb greenhouse gas emissions."
"According to Politico, "The Club for Growth is the pre-eminent institution promoting Republican adherence to a free-market, free-trade, anti-regulation agenda." The Guardian described the group as "one of the biggest backers" of Republicans who later voted to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election, having spent around $20 million on their campaigns in 2018 and 2020."
Anyway, this is about an example. One of the radical plutocratic Republican officials is Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. It would take a whole other post to describe his radicalism but the point is, the Club For Growth supports him, and put out an attack ad on his main opponent, an Independent. And as right-wing causes do, they LOVE the cause of opposing racism - when they can use it, by lying. Watch thich debunking of what they did:
So, note, they flooded media with total lies about the opponent, all to get votes for Lee, who will corruptly back plutocracy. Lies intended to get 'decent people' who aren't well informed enough to know better to think this opponent said all Republicans are racists, as actors showed 'concern' for being attacked like that.
There's nothing innocent about this; it was a very intentionally designed lie by editing, and note how when opponents successfully got a station to stop airing the lie, Club For growth was ready to provide a 'replacement ad' to remove the worst lying to still get aired.
This example captures the corrupt right-wing game - the billionaire plutocrat activist donors (some infamous, like Peter Thiel and the Mercer family, many others unknown like 'equity' billionaires), the laser-focus on political power for plutocracy, and the use of the propaganda tools to get people to vote for their stooges, carefully screened and selected to loyally serve the agenda.
