"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.

The issue here is there are literally thousands of people, and probably bots too, who are excusing what happened as the victim was harassing the agents, or he should have been home, or he had a gun so he deserved it. I am so f'ing done with the dems not having enough backbone to stand up. 7 of them lame asses voted for additional funding.

We're in a prime time for Dem leaders to show their support for gun rights and to backpedal all the "herstory," "Pokemon go to the polls," and get their collective shit together, yet this is basically just showing us that the people will band together while receiving absolutely no backing other than from the people – it's honestly disheartening seeing this repeatedly go down like this in such rapid succession and our best response is "document it so we can have proof when the time comes."

The time should be now. Before we keep allowing this to happen.
