I suppose this is a stupid question ....

But I wonder what Dimwit Donnie and his inner circle think of the latest No Kings protests? Nine million people nationwide?? Are they even aware of the scope of these protests? Has it made them sit up and take notice? Or do they tell Donnie that they’re all fake, or the protesters are paid, and that in reality he is still our country’s most beloved hero of all time? Surely some of them have one foot in reality …. maybe?
I just don’t know how you can write off a movement this huge.

Just a few dozen protesters. Nothing to see here.

3. They live in their own virtual world. If reality bothers them, they just plan to erase it.

The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism

The purpose of the demonstrations is to prevent such.

Cult thinking (promulgated by cult leaders) ignores outside reality (it's really dangerous to them) and like outside people, demonizes and denies.

I checked. Only chapters 1 and 3 exist in "1984"

They absolutely hate that we still have the energy and courage to resist.

That was the point of all the cruelty and violence. Know that they will most likely double down, it’s all they know.

Stay safe.
