The gaslighting of America
Every day we Americans deal with our misinformed relatives, neighbors, coworkers, associates and opinion letters regurgitating lies, propaganda, delusional conspiracies, racial hatred and xenophobic fear mongering intolerance.
Spewing falsehoods like the border is “open.” It is not. Presidents control gas prices, no, OPEC and greedy American fossil fuel oligarchs exploiting Americans do. Or blaming inflation on anyone other than the Corporate CEO’s that control supply, demand, prices and who have conglomerated, consolidated, monopolized, colluded and price fixed themselves to record corporate profits at the expense of consumers, labor and small business competitors.
Dangerous xenophobic demagoguery like Haitian’s eating cats and dogs, asylum seeking immigrants bringing crime, murder, rape, disease and are poisoning the blood of America, Tampons being dispensed in boys' bathrooms, or the 2020 election was “stolen.” These Trumpian lies are easily debunked by simple Google fact checks.
Gullible Americans gaslighted to believe many more falsehoods are only meant to distract from the fact their party is led by a pathological lying con artist, fraudster, 34 count convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, civilly fined for defamation, insurance, bank, real estate and charity fraud, still under three indictments for election subversion, sedition, insurrection and espionage.
Fellow Americans duped and manipulated into voting against their own economic, social, environmental, consumer, labor and health care interests.
On Nov. 5, it is up to We the People of the educated, informed, majority of patriotic Democrats, Independents, and Republicans voting against Trump to save the Republic by rejecting MAGA Trumpism and the anti-American fascism of Project 2025 at every level of our government.
