Disinformation: The Currency of the Trump Administration
As we’re all aware, humankind carries around a cognitive bias in the form of seeking out information that confirms what we already believe, and the author of the meme at left has created a textbook example.
Each line conveys a deeply misleading concept about the political left.
Having said this, we live in a time in which disinformation surrounds us at every turn. It’s an industry, just like banking, IT, and manufacturing.
My favorite: “riots and chaos.” lol
Haven’t we all wondered about this?
What his remaining supporters don’t (or refuse to) understand about Trump is that items like “250 years of democracy” don’t mean a goddamn thing to him.
Without a doubt, Americans’ financial and physical security is important.
To answer the question posed here from a reader:
Not one of the other world leaders, even the very worst human beings on Earth, like those in charge of Russia, China, Turkey, Hungary, North Korea and the rest, would make a statement like this.
I would say that very close to 100% of progressives long for America of their youth; it’s hard to imagine a liberal who thinks our country’s cravings for ignorance and hate is a good thing.
For a while, it appeared that the United States might be progressing beyond its ignorant “tough guy” ethos of Dirty Harry and moving towards an understanding and implementation of science in our culture.
It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.
Are you saying that Trump is defying the law, as if this is news?
