It's maddening that liberals and even plenty of so-called leftists don't understand that every single bit of messaging is propaganda.

I hear what you're saying, but if you openly call it propaganda, most people (libs and conservatives) will take it to mean lying. People will switch off their critical thinking skills if you call it propaganda.

I agree. It's obviously a term used in conversations with people who have a common understanding with you. And we need to seize opportunities to point out that liberals' beliefs are equally as propagandistic when we are debating them.
