Jesus Christ, they’re posting straight up propaganda on the Congressional web page.
No one believes you Hitler.
Unfortunately a fuck ton of idiots do.
And executive branch pages (HUD website) and overriding email signatures for gov employees, etc. Whole thing is propaganda. GOP probably has internal master class sessions on it.
What percentage of the population do you think will believe these are real documents
70 percent.
with the way they’re stripping education, far too many
Okay, devil’s advocate for a moment in assuming that this invoice is valid, how the fuck does giving EVs access to HOV lanes cost a damn thing?
It might reduce toll revenues slightly but that’s it.
had the same thought. wasn’t trump just using the white house to sell EVs just a few months ago too? none of what they do is cohesive
All of that sounds like it would be worth the money.
Jesus Christ this is petty. I couldn’t finish reading this blubber that was penned down by a 15yo with schizophrenia
The really truly was thing is that I know hat many Americans will read this and actually be db enough to believe they’re reading facts.
Even the AI is awful for fucks sake
It’s not a lie if we don’t call them on it
they’re posting straight up propaganda on the Congressional web page.
You’re not going to believe this but…

It’s important to note a distinction here, maybe not a difference in kind but certainly a difference in degree, in attitude, in perspective.
You could argue all writing is propaganda. We take a slice of the world and distill it into words but we will always write from our own perspective. It is impossible to write from someone else’s point view. All writing is a slice of the world, mangled and tainted with ourselves. Good writing cannot escape this, maybe it hews closer to the world, maybe it injects less of our opinions but it is always biased. The best writing often shows us the world from a viewpoint that enriches our own understanding.
There has never been writing on that website that strays so far from reality, that is so heavily injected with a very specific viewpoint. And it is a viewpoint that benefits very few of us. It does not enrich our understanding of the world, it frays and decays it. This is an important moment because we have never seen writing like this on these websites. There are laws written to prevent moments like this, but they have failed. It is a clear, obvious and direct signal that our institutions have given up on meaning, on the rule of law, and on the american dream. Sure, maybe we’ve always been a fascist country, but we have never, ever, been this fascist before. This is new territory for us and it is worth consideration.
You could argue all writing is propaganda.
All writing with political valence, sure.
This is new territory for us and it is worth consideration.
It’s relatively old territory. The trick is that during the War on Terror, the War on Drugs, and the Cold War, you had fewer people skeptical enough to question the Congressional narrative.
A big part of that is the domestic nature of the allegations. Much easier to just make up some bullshit about Iraq or Vietnam or Korea than Chicago or Portland or LA.
