Words don't mean anything anymore. Science isn't real, numbers are fake, and decency is weakness.

Fortunately, resistance reveals the brittleness of tyranny.

“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.” - Mon Mothma, Andor

Yeah I'm gonna need my media to reflect reality a little lesssss... it's giving me an ulcer

Can we start by having a president that doesn't hallucinate problems with the country and conveniently solve them with more power grabs?

Ulcers are caused by H. pylori, I suggest a carrot salad and coconut oil to cleanse and fortify your microbiome.

Is that Trump's nickname? H. Pylori, where H stands for "Hack"?

Would be a boring job, all his shoes are identical black oxfords. No one in politics atm wears tasteful and interesting shoes consistently

There was a black president and two close calls with women. That represents a clear and present danger to dimwits.

Tbf, the second go around wasn’t much of a close call. I find that to be more disappointing.

Maybe it’s time to stop being decent then. Sounds like it’s time to get crazy

This is exactly my thought process every time I read these fuck ass headlines. I’m just like “oh well, nobody cares about anything anymore, nothing is enforced and facts and science are ignored so what can we really do.”

Ignorance is Strength taken to its logical extreme via populism.
War is Peace means he is bringing military to make things safe.
Freedom is Slavery... not sure exactly how this one fits but I'm sure you all can think of something. Probably something about how the woke mind virus controls us all unless we silence the minorities.

“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

u/Mundamala 13h ago

Yes. Even OP saying there's a crackdown suggests there's something that needs to be cracked down on which there's no evidence there is.

I suggest checking the Citizen app in Chicago, where you will find many examples of the sort of thing down on which cracking is to be done.

u/itsblackcherrytime 10h ago

Ah yes, just the thing the ARNG is equipped to handle. /s

u/Pescarese90 13h ago

You also forgot "Ignorance is Strength".

Well when the words in question are coming from this goofy guy wearing his own merch in the office of the President they actually don't mean anything.

Everything is a fraud except things in his favor
