The Fascist Right knows that lies and propaganda are their most powerful weapons. Distortion of the truth is their greatest strength, they will continue to push alternative facts because they can. Populist propaganda WORKS as we saw when Trump was elected in 2016.

Liberals and Progressives are truth-seekers. While we all know that this is consistent and logical and morally sound, in general we do a poor job in presenting a message that will capture the hearts and minds of the average American. We are losing that battle every single day. Obama was pretty good at it, that's why he became President.
