SparkleTeaI have to repeat The Rules since many here seem to have forgotten them. Originally written for DOTUS's words, they apply to propagandists who seek to manipulate our thoughts and opinions:
1. They lie.
2. They hijack our emotions. (They use emotionally-charged phrases and memes to distract us from their lies.)
3. The use the I'm Rubber You're Glue Principle. (They accuse others of what they do - first - to make us cynical when their own actions come to light.)

Sparkle TeaThought jumping out at this point in Teri K's thread
Equality (fairness / due process) have always been at odds with freedom ("negative freedom" as in "freedom from" - the urge to have the government leave one TF alone.
This is our historical foundation: the attempt to merge equality and freedom. It's a delicate balance in reality.
Lovely, when it works. But it takes all of us.

I think of history as a push and pull. The liberals and progressives push us forward. The reactionaries and regressives push us backward. The founders rejected monarchy, but they created a hierarchy. They allowed slavery and women couldn’t vote. “We the people” meant white, mostly landowning educated men. One way to view history is out groups trying to be recognized as “people.” Hierarchy people have always been with us. When we create fairness and equality, they try to roll it back. 8/
Meanwhile, here are tips I wrote in 2017 about how to spot propaganda techniques. I'll probably update them, but they still work!
Propaganda, including disinformation, works by pumping your emotions. Seeing it breaks the cycle, hopefully.
Emotions are cool to acknowledge, but my oh my, we don't need to react upon them. We can kiss them on their heads, and shuttle them out of our way.

Exactly.
The Big Lie serves the Big Con, after all. The Con is the thing.
