Anyone who read George Orwell in high school, ‘1984’ or ‘Animal Farm’, can see his prophetic words come to fruition under Donald Trump. ‘Lies are truth’, Bad is Good’, as the pigs took ver the farmyard. Who thought we’d live to see it actually happen, as the Trumpies ‘change the narrative’ of Jan 6th fit their agenda.’

WASHINGTON » A cocktail of propaganda, conspiracy theory and disinformation  is fueling delusion over the agonies of Jan. 6.

Hate is “love.” Violence is “peace.” The pro-Donald Trump attackers are patriots.

Months after the then-president’s supporters stormed the Capitol that winter day, Trump and his acolytes are taking this revisionism to a new and dangerous place — one of martyrs and warlike heroes, and of revenge. It’s a place where cries of “blue lives matter” have transformed into shouts of “(expletive) the blue.”

The fact inversion about the siege is the latest in Trump’s contorted oeuvre of the “big lie” compendium, the most specious of which is that the election was stolen from him, when it was not.

It is rooted in the formula of potent propaganda through the ages: Say it loud, say it often, say it with the heft of political power behind you, and people will believe.
