Actual reality
A letter in the Daily Herald on Jan. 18, 2021 under the absurd heading, "It's not Trump who is divisive" is an example of an alternative reality.
Trump called Obama " ... the most ignorant president in our history," "the founder of ISIS," and said Obama and Biden were guilty of treason. He called Hillary Clinton "crooked Hillary" who should be "locked up." He shared a Twitter post claiming that Joe Biden was a pedophile. He said Biden was on drugs. He claimed that Biden stole the election by massive fraud.
But in Right Wing World it is not Trump who is divisive.
In Right Wing World. violence incident to some BLM protests was akin to the storming of the Capitol. Trump organized the "Stop the Steal" rally, incited the mob and told them to march on the Capitol. The goal was to overturn our constitutional process by preventing the certification of Biden's election victory.
The distinction between a riot and an insurrection somehow escapes the dwellers in Right Wing World.
The claim that the electoral college is "the only system that makes it possible for every vote to count" reaches the level of Orwellian "double-think." Hillary Clinton beat Trump by almost 2.9 million votes. Al Gore won the popular vote by about 540,000. Republicans have won the popular vote only once since 1988. In Right-Wing World every vote counts but some votes count for more than others. Ironically, because of the electoral college, a vote for Trump in "blue state" Illinois really didn't count. That is why neither candidate campaigned here. Without the electoral college, a vote for Trump in Illinois would have counted just as much as a vote for Trump in Arizona or Pennsylvania.
Trump supporters need to rejoin actual reality.
