Brings to mind a favorite quote of mine to lean on in this post-truth era:
“Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason, than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear.”
Thank you for this handbook of information Brian! It amazes me how repetitive simple narrative sound bites draw people in. I live in Florida and was listening to our governor DeSantis’s live speech and he mentioned the word woke over 20 times! The stickiness is messy!
Thank you for this article on disinfromation. How can we get conservatives back to sanity if so much of the media they consume is pro 45? Something has to break the triangle of doom at some point.
Great stuff. Thank you
