A quotation from Orwell

In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

#JDVance appeared to be confronting the central question facing America’s relationship w/ #Europe right now: If the #US turns away from #Ukraine, could the US & other #NATO nations find themselves on opposing sides, w/the US moving toward a normalization of relations w/ #Russia? Vance argued that #Trump brought “strategic realism” [🤣that guy has no idea what realism is!] to the decision to seek a negotiated solution to the war.

#uspol I like the Headline on this Article. Read the article which explains why the opposition party needs to go on attack using the same playbook that caused them to lose.
