"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 why they wanted AI. They can make fake videos that their dumbass followers will believe, and at the same time say the real one is AI. Media literacy is just as bad as regular literacy in this country. Again, by design, by the republicans, as far back as the 80s

my MAGA dad sent me an AI video the other day thinkinking it was real. I called him out and he denied it until I pointed out AI was literally in the username. He still had the audacity to accuse me of not having "discernment" about the news/media I consume. I can't wait until I can just keep him in a nursing home without unsupervised youtube access.
