34. Setting a false narrative,... is so very difficult to correct and reverse.
Mon Apr 27, 2026, 08:07 PM

Manufacturing a false narrative is a common weapon found in the bag of tricks used by Fascists. It immediately creates false aspersions dumped upon your adversaries to dehumanize and to make more of a monster out of them. Ripe for scorn, ridicule, and intense hatred.

Kristi Noem, Gregory Bonvino, and Ka$h Patel do it all the time. Get your foot in the door before anyone else - then you control the narrative and the messaging.

Ethics and justice are conked in the head,... then tossed into and locked up in the trunk. The Fascists then become the designated drivers. trDUMP thinks this shows initiative and comments profusely in support of people of this caliber and ilk, because this is his go to modus operandi too. Fascist think, Fascists say, and Fascists do - as they mimic and proudly duplicate the ways of their hate filled brethren. Stuck in a self perpetuating cycle of achieving hellacious results.
