I’ve got a suspicion I can’t shake that there’s an astroturf campaign to make people tired of talking about this shit rather than tired of the shit itself. It’s defense to keep ideas from entering the cult.

It’s a known tactic called firehosing.

Basically you out out so much negativity in smaller batches that people barely notice the big stuff when it comes.

Or at least it makes a lot less of a splash.

Trump has used this tactic long before he was known in public. His art-of-the-deal is basically to throw feces everywhere to confuse the opponents until they walk away.
