As we get inundated by denunciations of Trump's "lies," in which every salesman's use of hyperbole, puffery, and humor is distorted into a Republic-threatening Hitlerian assault on human rights and dignity, the press ignores the fact that the Democrats' campaign is built entirely upon a series of proven hoaxes.
The "Fine people" hoax gets repeated endlessly, and the mainstream media is just fine with it. Without it, the Trump as Hitler meme falls apart, and everybody in the Establishment needs the "Trump as Hitler" meme to persist among Democrats and Never Trumpers.
"Trump told people to drink bleach" is an oldie but a goodie. Obviously false in whole and in every part, the disconnect with reality is a feature, not a bug. The closer the Democrats get to reality, the more exposed their own weirdness and insanity become clear.
"Suckers and losers" is especially rich, given that the Democrats are still pushing the hoax that their own Vice President is a retired Command Seargent Major and war veteran who ran away from deployment. The Democrats can literally say anything and the trained seals in the mainstream media will scream, "Joy!"
If the past few decades have taught us anything it is that shamelessness is a superpower in politics. I remember when Gary Hart dropped out of the race for president when his sexual shenanigans were revealed to the world. Bill Clinton, though, knew to stick it out and now he is an eminence grise.
The Democrats learned a major lesson: ignore the facts, ignore reality, keep your head high, and lie constantly.
"Lie after lie after lie from Joe Biden last night. That is going to be his legacy. A liar, a divisive president, and the most corrupt and incompetent president this nation has ever seen."

It's not just the Democrats that learned this lesson: it was the mainstream media, the propaganda arm of the left. Back in the 1980s, they had yet to realize the brainwashing power they exerted. They knew they could put their thumb on the scale and help the Democrats by picking and choosing the stories that they emphasized. But they didn't yet realize that they could completely rewrite the script of reality and create a Truman Show.
Unburdened by what has been and any shame about being North Korea-style propagandists, the MSM-DNC-transnational elite axis of evil simply ignore reality, invent a new one, and suppress inconvenient facts. And it usually works, with few exceptions.
It's a testament to the power of the corporate media that Democrats can just tell the most blatant and obvious lies and get away with it. https://t.co/a6UgSJVQ1Y

Heard much about Trump's assassination attempt? Nope. We heard more about the fake narrative about Trayvon Martin's death in the past month--and that is a decade-old hoax--than about what happened in Butler. In fact, the people who got Trump shot are all in the same or higher positions of power than before, and the media is great with that.
Last night, for the few minutes I caught, the Democrats vomited out a steady stream of lies, up to and including the claim that the Democrats were opposed to closing schools during COVID!--and I wretched so hard I had to get away.
The MSM, though, is in on the hoaxing. They need it to work, and they have long since gotten past the shame of selling themselves to the regime.
I first started noticing politics in 1972 during the Nixon-McGovern race, and times have changed so much that it makes your head spin. McGovern, for all his being far left for his time, was an American patriot who fought in World War II and was an honorable man.
Can you find an honorable Democrat these days? One unwilling to lie, to gaslight, to sacrifice Americans on the alter of power?
If so, can you point them out to me? I don't see one.
