"Dictators and aspiring dictators know they're illegitimate. That's why they spin their webs of lies and and violence and blackmail. They leverage their invented reality against their enemies." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
"Truth is the battlefield for control over the soul of the nation. If dark money right wing groups can rewrite history, it helps them come to power and create a framework to inspire fanatics to terrorize their enemies." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
"Every right-wing attempt to limit US history is a reaction to the mass protests in 2020 and to Trump leaving Americans unable to delude themselves that they live in a 'post-racial' society and feeling the need to learn the facts." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
"The 'post-racial' framework is not only delusional but dangerous. The belief that racism in the US was 'over' helped spur the SCOTUS decision to partially repeal the Voting Rights Act in 2013. And now voter suppression is far worse." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
"The attacks on school curricula in the US are leading to increasing self-censorship. People are choosing between standing up for the truth and putting food on the table." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
"The right-wingers doing the censorship are portraying themselves are victims, because that's part of the dictator's playbook. Trump plays victim #1 and tells his base they're the underdog, they're the victims." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/polonium…
