"Today, the White House marked the fifth anniversary of the January 6th riot
by releasing a website that accuses former Vice President Mike Pence of cowardess and sabotage and insists that the president's supporters were peaceful.

It accuses the United States capital police of deliberately escalating tensions and of turning a peaceful demonstration into chaos.

The website actually had the nerve to say that Trump's opponents had masterfully
reversed reality after January 6th.

And that is one of those statements that after you read it, you just have to shake your head. It is the Trump administration and specifically Donald Trump who has reversed reality 5 years later.

He has done that by repeating his lies over and over every single day for the past five years. He has fashioned his own reality that is the complete opposite of the truth. and his version of reality, which is filled with lies, as been allowed to stand because 99% of Republicans are afraid to stand up to him, will let him get by with anything without calling him out.

Trump's repeated lies have been rewarded not only by him regaining office, but by the fact that five years later, he has convinced tens of millions of Americans to believe something that is the direct opposite of the truth."

Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future

... In [the book] Erasing History, Jason Stanley exposes the ways authoritarian regimes manipulate historical narratives to maintain power. He provides compelling examples from around the world, showing how political leaders restrict access to historical truths by banning books, censoring curricula, and criminalizing educators who challenge official narratives.

Stanley demonstrates how attacks on education and historical memory support authoritarianism, undermining public understanding of past struggles for justice.

By showing how history is weaponized to advance political agendas, Stanley underscores the importance of preserving historical truth as a safeguard against authoritarian rule. ...

That's why DJT loves all the other Authoritarian leaders.... he's learned so much from them.

Mainly that repeated lies are as good as the truth to blind cultists.
