USDA crosses red line: partisan message on federal site marks new stage in government propaganda

The USDA website now says “Radical Left Democrats shut down the government.”

On a federal .gov site.

That’s not “communication.” That’s propaganda… the kind we used to point to in authoritarian regimes and say, “Wow, glad that’s not us.”

Well… surprise. It’s us.

We’ve officially entered the “state propaganda, but make it agriculture” phase of American democracy.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) website was emblazoned with a bright red banner officially blaming the “Radical Left in Congress” for the government shutdown on Wednesday.

Visitors to the site were met first with a pop up, and then a website banner with the same message:

The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.

The message was added after the Senate failed to pass a continuing funding resolution on Tuesday which resulted in a federal government shut down at the outset of Wednesday morning. Senate negotiations remained deadlocked to the end as Democrats pressed for a deal in exchange for the seven votes needed to clear the chamber’s 60-vote procedural hurdle.
