For generations, the credo of the CIA was "Perception IS Reality"
Trump and the violent right have adopted and nurtured this mind-control credo for themselves. While there is new thinking in the CIA and past failures like missing the dissolution of the USSR have taught new lessons, old beliefs remain.

Rupert, Donald, and Elon celebrate their ability to divide for their own purpose, to prosper by their message and pay less tax.
I include Elon because of his wealth and his first tweet on his Twitter saying John Pelosi was in his underwear with his homosexual lover and was having a domestic quarrel. Despite deleting his tweet the echo chamber expanded the divisive lie.

My whistle blower sacrifices on this Mudpuddle consist of conservative forces here sending the FBI to my house over claims of inciting violence and the efforts of Steve and cooperative mods to delete my message. When good people go silent for whatever reason, bad things happen to good countries. Bad things are happening and the wild pendulum of events is in free fall as denialism and what aboutism lies grow.

Beware of right wing fanatics in sheep's clothing and wisdom from unearned sources.
