Exactly why "cognitive dissonance" is the best possible thing to see developing, since cult believers are bigly 'programmed' with false & destructive/hateful messaging - #disinformation #media & #TrumpVirus #doublespeak dog whistles. Neither #truth nor their own lyin' eyes are going to shake that faith in our Savior King.

Cognitive dissonance: +/-
Choose one of two equal strong arguments, affirm the chosen belief, diminish the other. "Fake".

Be fully accurate in how you report everything and never use doublespeak.

This is a major factor in how we reached this point: The utter failure of journalism—journalists, editors, and publishers—to report facts in plain, clear language that conveys the precise meaning of actions and events.

"In honor of the October 18, 2025, No Kings Day demonstrations happening all over the country, I’m offering the first of three installments of 'The Patriot’s Glossary of MAGAtarian Doublespeak.' May it help illuminate the MAGA attacks on facts and reality, and may we hold onto the truth that will make us free."
