The strategy has been attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump's former chief political strategist Steve Bannon.[4][5][6]

The strategy came to public light after Bannon told Michael Lewis in 2018 that "The Democrats don't matter... The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit".[7] Trump adopted the strategy during the 2016 presidential election,[3][8] followed by other right-wing political figures such as Éric Zemmour and Elon Musk.[9][10][1][11]

That article should really reference the dead cat strategy. It's not the same thing exactly, but it's close. I don't think that Bannon likely deserves credit for originating the idea.

The dead cat strategy, also known as deadcatting, is the political strategy of deliberately making a shocking announcement to divert media attention away from problems or failures in other areas.[1][2] The term is popularly associated with political strategist Lynton Crosby's work on the successful London mayoral campaigns of Boris Johnson.

In 2013, while he was mayor of London, Boris Johnson wrote a column for The Telegraph in which he described a political manoeuvre known as "throwing a dead cat on the table":

To understand what has happened in Europe in the last week, we must borrow from the rich and fruity vocabulary of Australian political analysis. Let us suppose you are losing an argument. The facts are overwhelmingly against you, and the more people focus on the reality the worse it is for you and your case. Your best bet in these circumstances is to perform a manoeuvre that a great campaigner describes as "throwing a dead cat on the table, mate".

That is because there is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout "Jeez, mate, there's a dead cat on the table!"; in other words they will be talking about the dead cat, the thing you want them to talk about, and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[3]

A lot of it has been proven to be associated with the online betting industry. People have been placing bets on real geopolitical events and making fortunes. We know for a fact that at least one is associated with trump org or high in the regime.

The rich are like the freakish rich people in the movie rat race except they are making money off of our real world deaths and illnesses as well

If it's that easy to change them, then changing it back once he croaks should be a breeze.

under rated comment..

Exactly. As someone from Canada, I was kinda relieved when the Iran war started. It's beginning meant that the probability of military action against Canada and Greenland would go down. Of course, I'm not "happy" that the war started and that civilians were murdered because of it... I'm just... relieved that the probability of us suffering the same fate went down.

So yeah... The more distracted that jackass is, the better it is ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

cmon man it's already too close to Idiocracy. We can't go naming places or people Taco Supreme or Beef Supreme lol

Pig Boy is just territorial marking, smearing his brainsharts onto everything he can.

A less insane Congress should pass a way rescinding the official naming of anything after a person who was alive when it was named. And while they're at it, nullifying every single other act that Trump did while in office.

Preferably permanently

They keep missing

We could probably change it on Wikipedia if it's worded as "otherwise known as Pedo-Lago." It's not wrong if we're actually referring to it that way.

He's also in the Epstein files more than Epstein.

I'm ready for the post-mortem on this guy's career corpse

Fixed it for you

More likely he will rename South-America to Mexico+.

Is Canada going to be renamed North America?

Or how ANYTHING works, for that matter.

Speak for yourself, I look fabulous!

Isn’t New Mexico with the Zorro Ranch? He’s trying to wash himself of accountability

How does renaming the state eliminate accountability?

Donald Mexico kind of has a ring to it 😄

That's really Aladeen
