The establishment is now lying on so many fronts that they have a lot of balls in the air. I believe they have made the tactical decision that the easiest path (lowest energy required) is simply silence. Rather than try to engage with any of the many impossibilities of the dominant narrative, they simply censor discussion and keep moving forward.

Each of these lies is gathering more opposition to them, however. We can only hope they are overwhelmed with opposition from a million fronts before they can find the tools they need to crush it entirely. Human decency and our ability to control any aspect of our own life depend on the results of this horse race.

The key is organization. There is a huge group of people very angry about the state of our "leadership", but we are fractured, chaotic, and willing to sit here behind our keyboards bitching.

What is needed is a charismatic leadership who can unify enough of these various threads (reply to a particular group of the lies) to create a viable counter-force.

Trump - the good and bad:

Good. Trump has the charisma and he has a 'brand'. This provides a nucleus from which to begin.

Bad. I'm not at all convinced that Trump wants fundamental change. Rather than wanting to tear down the power which has concentrated in so few hands over the past 80 years (his lifetime), Trump wants to manipulate that power. Thus he handed off the same power he received plus a little (just like all presidents have done since WWII) to Obiden.

He's better than what has followed him, but a long-term solution he is not.
