4. GOP Propaganda has made truth irrelevant

Thu May 10, 2018, 11:18 AM

May 2018

the truth is available, but Americans by and large prefer to remain asleep.

the goal is always to delay the truth, find a tiny fault to discredit it with, offer a counter-narrative, dilute, until the average voter gets overwhelmed and has to go to work, pick up the kids, make dinner, call their dying trump-voting parent.

life interferes, then the outrage fades, and the GOP sails on. this is a science they've perfected. it worked when they lied the nation into an endless war with sunni islam.
