You have to objectively admire the fascists' ability to shift the narrative at will. [View all]

A week ago, everyone was so outraged and focused on the heinous, cruel and absolutely destructive Big “Beautiful” Bill. A real piece of legislation that is going to devastate millions of people.

But one statement “The Epstein files don’t exist” completely wiped it off the front page of every newspaper and website, including this one, and has everyone on a snipe hunt again.

For the gods’ sake, there were political assassinations a couple weeks ago and that story is gone as if it never happened. It barely made a blip on the radar as everyone was off chasing whatever shiny object Piss was reflecting the light off of.

These people are absolute masters of distraction, manipulation and propaganda. And everyone falls for it time and time again.

Objectively, you have to admire it. They’re really good at this part of the game. The fact that people are so easily distracted really helps them do worse and worse things and get away with it.
