The swamp and the owl's electoral propaganda

Two months before the vote, Edi Rama has openly revealed his electoral propaganda strategy: negative campaign!

In 12 years, Rama has not only been consumed, but has produced a national catastrophe of unique proportions in the country's history. During his government, the exodus of Albanians has been the same as that of Syrians fleeing the civil war. Democracy in the country has been destroyed, the separation of powers has been abolished, while monopolies have replaced the market economy. Corruption and organized crime have merged with governance....

So, with no alternative, Edi Rama has entered this campaign with the 2013 thesis: "It's Saliu's fault". This individual has repeatedly stated that, "there is no one better than me". In other words, "you are bad with me. But without me you will be nothing"!

It's a shame, a disgrace, an abuse, or whatever else you want, for a person who has led the country for 12 years, who only appears everywhere because his circle is either in prison, under investigation, or discredited... to run a negative campaign against the opposition and for this type of campaign to be the only propaganda on the market! But it works!

In Soros' training, his toys are trained that, when they cannot defeat the other's argument, they must deal with the opponent, removing their credibility by any means necessary.

The swamp and the owl's electoral propaganda

In these conditions, Edi Rama alone, with his off-screen thieves, has created the metaphor of the swamp (which are all his opponents) and the owl or hawk of this swamp (which is Sali Berisha). The goal is that every observation, every criticism, every fact and even accusation against Rama has the "dirty stench of the swamp, of feces". So, the observation may be 100% accurate, the accusation backed up with facts, ... but "it comes from the swamp", therefore it has no value.

That's why there's not a day that Edi doesn't take a loud accusation from Berisha and cover it up with an owl or cuckoo-like figure.

On the other hand, we have a (so far) positive campaign, by Berisha. I emphasize: by Berisha! The others in the coalition of 25 parties, no one cares, except as vote-getters . Berisha has come up with a ridiculous copy of Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again": "Let's keep Albania great"! (This Trump-Berisha dichotomy reminded me of a joke, which then comes together in the slogan:

A male blackbuck climbed onto the elephant's trunk to rape her. While the blackbuck shook back and forth in lust, with no real effect, the elephant's leg was stuck with a tree branch and she let out an exclamation:
- Ohhhhh!
And the proud blackbuck screams at her:
- You whore! Give it up! Break it! )

Edi Rama has damaged the country more than any invader, so the slogan "We liberate Albania" or "We return Albania to the Albanians" would have remained in "greatness", but in much more realistic terms and would also include the damage that the opponent has done. Because, "let's make it great", in fact means that "he didn't do anything wrong, but we will make it a great success"!

Albanians who don't like Rama have many reasons. But I summarize them all: making the country unlivable, emptying and bankrupting it, and the plan to replace Albanians with Asian immigrants. This cause, for example, brings more people to the polls than promises of pensions, salaries, etc.

The swamp and the owl's electoral propaganda
In conclusion, with the quality of a PR and campaign specialist (I have worked in each of them and have been 100% successful from 1991 to today) I guarantee you that Rama's propaganda is many times more fruitful, aggressive and studied than expected from an anti-Albanian, denationalizing and destructive government. While Berisha's to this day surpasses even those of Luli in 2021, which he had drafted with the heads of Europe.

PS: A gift, for democrats with soul, those who want solutions and motivation, but do not find it in leadership: The most efficient way is to turn the opponent's attack into an advantage. Rama repeats the owl and the owlet? Repeat it louder than the one who: "THE OWL IS COMING TO CLEAN THE SWAMP FROM THE THIEVING RATS OF THE RENAISSANCE"
Post post scriptum: Tell the Doctor that "we will drain the swamp" was also Trump's slogan in his campaign
