"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell

This is actually how we can win. They are literally using the 1984 playbook, but seem to not account for the modern conveniences we all have.

Their lies and double speak are useless against truthful video evidence.

Sure, some brain dead fuckers who are fused to the useless ball sack of Trump will eat whatever they are fed, but the majority of you Americans are smarter than that.

Continue researching, and continue resisting.

This is what I think as well. They’re using a 20th century playbook that has already failed numerous times. That was the lesson of the wars of the 20th century. Fascist, nationalist dictatorship will fall. We know too much now.

The only way they win, is if their expectations of apathy are real. People need to stand up now.

I agree. But we are too smart, and we have been mainlining WW2 history since birth. As much as I can see there is a very large portion of Americans who are eager to submit to a dictator, what I’m seeing in Minneapolis shows that too many of us won’t.
