Wow!!! Liz Cheney knows the FACTS!

I stand by this.

Arguing against post-truth facts is futile because they aren’t rooted in truth but in emotion and belief. Debates only reinforce their narrative by granting them legitimacy. The focus should instead be on exposing their manipulative intent and fostering critical awareness of their impact.

The goal isn't to debunk post-truth lies but to identify when they're deployed and understand their purpose: to manipulate emotions, shape narratives, and shift power dynamics by undermining truth and fostering division. Recognizing their function is key to resisting their influence.

nypost.com/2025/01/02/u... What matters in this ridiculous article and others like it is the zeitgeist-shaping power that it has to set pretexts for any forthcoming executive orders.

peoplesdispatch.org/2025/01/03/c... Here, the truth doesn't matter. What matters is how Americans perceive Mexico's role in the fentanyl crisis. It sets the pretext for the "necessary" executive orders.

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/w... This post-truth article is designed to create the pretext for a "state of emergency" declaration.

Post-truth approaches shape the zeitgeist. They reframe society by amplifying divisive narratives, eroding shared truths, and normalizing subjective realities to consolidate power and influence.

A post-truth society prioritizes emotions and personal beliefs over objective facts, fueled by mistrust in institutions, echo chambers, and misinformation. Truth becomes subjective, undermining consensus, fostering division, and complicating problem-solving in politics, science and public discourse.

This aged quite well for McCarthy… and quite poorly for Gaetz.

Well, now isn’t this cute? Missouri’s billionaires have created their own little project 2025. You’ll notice much of the devious plan has to do with defunding education. Privatizing public schools. Sending taxpayer money to private religious schools. Its a scam. showmeinstitute.org/wp-content/u...

A message for Republican Senators: Trump's agenda will fleece your constituents, while lining the pockets of his billionaire buddies. If you vote for Trump's policies, the fallout will follow you to your graves. We'll make sure of it.

Project 2025 was not designed to help the American people. It was designed to help Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies.

If you’re going to mourn, mourn for the parents bankrupted trying to save their children. Mourn for the cancer patients who died because their treatment was “too expensive.”
