Can’t make up facts

The fragmented and obstructionist GOP is way out of bounds saying that the Obama administration “has harmed our country.” They are wrong about the economic recovery under President Obama and the minority Democrats in Congress.

Faux Novelles (Fox News) has become the modern Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will) of the GOP, defining in part the iconography of the multiple conservative parties. Which incidentally is what the Nazis did as they hosted the 1936 Olympics and prepared for war and building a super race.

Think Vance Packard’s Hidden Persuaders’ to begin understanding the power of video marketing. Their redundant bundle of lies are similar to the infamous work of the Ministry of Propaganda led by Joseph Goebbels nearly a century past. The conservatives are wrong about our country being a “welfare state,” and wrong about white privilege eroding.” Instead, the privileges of non-white groups are slowly being elevated to those of the white class, becoming a win-win scenario for all.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinions of course, but they are not entitled to their own made up set of facts.
