“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
“The truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie.”
Not this time. The clock has run out on the Republican assumption that their voters would accept everything they say.

Trump was lambasted for blaming Biden for the January 6th insurrection when Biden wasn’t even president. Republicans are even weaponizing the term “Antifa” – which literally means Anti-Fascist – against Democrats, while WWII are protesting this heinous lie.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
After more than a century of "the best intentions" of Republicans' duplicity, scales from Republican voters eyes.
They can now see.
They are "woke."

Meantime, Republican overreach may be their own undoing. People are fed up with the gas-lighting. George Stephanopoulos abruptly ended an interview with JD Vance for dismissing Tom Homan accepting a $50,000 bribe as a “left-wing rabbit hole.” www.palmerreport.com/politics/ame...

(At least 80% of MSM and social media outlets are owned by conservative billionaires.)
"When conservative activists in the 20th century sought to buy or influence CBS, they made a play for the most influential one of only three truly national news outlets in the country."

CBS Has Been in Conservative Sights for Decades

It was once deemed the "Communist Broadcasting System" by conservative activists.

Republicans have also used phycological warfare since before Ronald Reagan. Psychological Operations, or PsyOps, spread false flags and propaganda to weaken morale, via print, radio, and TV “shadow news networks.”

The first Jim Crow was enacted under the auspices that racism is a necessity and a great and natural moral good.

The second one is being enacted under the auspices that racism doesn’t exist if you claim you don’t see it and anyone who questions your motives about that is oppressing you.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Our democracy has been under assault by White Nationalists since the Civil War. The current weapons of choice are EOs and lawfare, from illegal mass firings and defunding, to weaponizing the DOJ to indict opponents, keeping Democrats in litigation mode.

Has anyone connected the now $40B giveaway to Argentina to Trump's PPP giveaways to MAGA Republicans and donors in his first term, without Congressional oversight?
Records of transactions were destroyed before he left the WH, so the loans never have to be repaid. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Major Trump Donors Received At Least $41 Million In PPP Loans For Their Companies

The 15 donors gave Trump and the GOP $1.4 million this spring, in a process that critics say lacked basic transparency.

And on that note, the Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" in the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This means the government cannot create or endorse an official religion.

Charlie Kirk is dead, tragically murdered by an assassin’s bullet. Now Turning Point USA wants to cement its founder’s legacy by Christianizing America in his name. Read about that threat to democracy in my new @wjkbooks.com book out now: www.wjkbooks.com/bookproduct/...

Josiele Berto was called by police in Everett, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, who said her son Arthur had been arrested. She was told she needed to pick him up.

After waiting in the station for more than an hour, an officer informed her ICE had already taken him away.

"Trump dissed Charlie Kirk during Memorial service. It was a new low, even for him. Always expect Dementia Don to say off the wall shyt without a second thought.
We already saw how much he cared when he immediately began talking about his ballroom while supposedly feeling sad."
