1 - As we see from today, authoritarians use one weapon above all to keep citizens supportive/unaware. It has many names. Propaganda. Gaslighting. Disinformation. False narratives. Not only authoritarians like Putin but authoritarian wannabe's like most of America's GOP.

2 - The most famous propagandist ever - Josef Goebbels - famously said two things - the first one, we've ALL heard: "Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it, and people WILL believe it.” BUT Goebbels also said something else.
3 - Goebbels also said that it's absolutely necessary to hide the truth, because if truth escapes: “It will prove stronger than the lie.” We can't echo this enough! Propaganda is not only about lies; it's also about suppression of truth.
4 - And when Trump trumpets the Big Lie, he is not only peddling disinformation, he is also suppressing the truth, the truth about his disgrace, his criminality, and the FACT that he lost.
5 - Democracy is THE thing most worth fighting for. It's the fundamental basis of the common good, the only system of government where the dignity of a human is above the power of the state. Our constitutional crisis is not "coming soon." It's here. Now!
6 - The Republican Party hopes to control branches of US government after the midterms and use that to further alter our system of government. This is really happening. But we cannot let them succeed. WHAT is the solution? The solution is THE TRUTH.
7 - We MUST fight to expose truth. To fight for truth, is to fight for democracy. It's not an easy fight. But we have numbers and don't need that many more.
If enough truth prevails, democracy prevails.
If enough truth prevails, democracy prevails.
8 - IF WE ALL BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE REALLY DEALING WITH, WE'LL ALL SHOW UP IN NOVEMBER, AND WE'LL FLIP A FEW. AND DEMOCRACY WILL PREVAIL.
9 - We're making a film that will explain the psychology of TrumpISM. Trumpism the apparatus is MUCH larger than Trump, the man. It's full of enablers, amplifiers, grifters, and opportunists.
10 - Just as our 2020 film #UNFIT explained Trump's aberrant psychopathology, #UNTRUTH will make sense out of where we are now, why we're here, and what to do. It's a behavioral perspective you don't ever get in the media. It will speak truth to ANYONE who watches.
11 - And like #UNFIT did, #UNTRUTH will flip a few. It will be released before the midterms. It's fiercely independent, the only way a film it can be made. It can and will make a difference. Read more, watch the trailer, consider supporting the effort. bit.ly/34DmQZP
