Reality Denial: Russia Didn’t Interfere In The 2016 & 2020 Elections

To think that Russia didn’t interfere and won’t interfere is wild and requires a frightening disconnection from reality.

Seven people were found guilty of aiding Russia, and five of them went to prison. ALL of them were in Trump’s inner circle.

Total Disregard for Reality

In court for flying trump flags near a Biden bus!…
Oh, and brandishing weapons, yelling death threats, and assaulting part of the motorcade with a truck (deadly weapon). But these people “do their own research”, so they must know this, right?

This is exactly how the right-wing media ecosystem treats the law as it applies to their in-group. Distort, deny, grievance monger, distort, deny, repeat.

(Trump just did what other presidents and politicians have done with confidential documents! Except there are massive piles of evidence that he’s illegally avoided and misled to retain information that he knows it’s illegal for him to have. This is unique, obviously.)

The video below shows the moving vehicle assault. Also, the court record is linked below, outlining the accusations (which are obviously more than flying a conflicted felon Trump flag).

We must stop people from considering the track record of their sources!

This guy is such a nut.

“The curriculum for media literacy is about how not to do your own research.”

No, they’re about knowing your own limitations and having the prudent respect for the expertise and track record others have built over a lifetime.

He conflates poor track records with “alternative sources”. Silly dude.

Thank god for the medical literacy curriculum. It seems the only way to improve the population’s focus on track-record-based credibility will be generational because when you lose it, there are a seemingly endless number of self-insulating hucksters ready to manipulate broken trust profiles to radicalize for influence and profit.

The gift of narcissism and self-fulfilling delusion

“Every feeling you’ve ever had is true.”

“Your gut is the one thing that doesn’t lie to you.”

“If you feel deception, you’re being lied to. Period.”

“If you feel you are being lied to, you are 100% right. You are being lied to.”

Are we being serious here? Do serious people accept these statements as anything other than encouraging narcissism and laying the bedrock for a self-insulating rhetorical model for retaining a following?

“What you’re seeing is evil done for its own sake [by people who disagree with me]. Hurting people for the sake of hurting people. […] I’ve never attacked anyone for not sharing my views. […] They hate the truth. If you are governed by people who actively hate the truth and who lie for the sheer animal thrill of doing so, you are living in a dark time under very dark people”

🤦🏻‍♂️

“People who think 1/6 is a real issue are just gaslighting us.”

Anyone taking 1/6 seriously is just gaslighting. It’s an incredible, self-centered claim.

They’re not stopping it. When will America be destroyed? I’ll check back in a year. My money says America will not be destroyed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

How would they go about stopping it? Sounds like violent rhetoric to me.

Denying other people’s tragedy is core to their culture
