4. Money is speech. War is peace. 2+2 IS 5.

Newspeak is real.

Elon Musk is a swell dude, bro.
Joe Rogan is obviously the go-to show for truth.


This is the fact-free reality of 2024 and the world in general.

What is the single biggest thing to grab ahold of the world since 2008 and today?
(HINT - Its NOT democratic party policies or platforms.)
ANSWER = social media and the rise of the internet as the single most potent propaganda tool in human history.

Stop and think about it. What do many, many MILLIONS of people do endlessly these days?
Read books?
Study economics?
Attend seminars to discuss topically relevant events?

No.

They scroll on their fucking phones endlessly.
They obsess over 'likes' and opinions and influencers.

They also believe the most insane shit passively and without questioning the authorities that they listen to.

We are in a world of Hindu cows, passively starving to death but protected from on high by the prince of darkness himself.

The Democratic Party needs to start listening to people under the age of 40 and stop listening to those over the age of 70. The reality is that in a smart phone world, we are listening to leadership that probably still has landlines, used magnetic tapes for answering machines, audio tapes and video tapes. This is the defining issue - being out of touch with technology and reality at the same time is a fatal combination.

The other thing that needs to be done is to STOP SAYING TRUMP'S FUCKING NAME constantly. Ignore him or use the generic term "the administration" if you discuss it at all. Starve the beast of the attention it seeks, craves and demands. Quit attacking the giant blob of silly putty and start displaying the effects of this shit show on the average person. Quit allowing lies to have longer half-lives than stone cold but ugly truths.

Ignore that and we will surely watch the loss of the New Deal, the Great Society and Obamacare to the greed and hate of a select few oligarchs and fiends who really control this mess.
