Stolen Election Memes
The 2020 election was stolen. We must never forget. It must never happen again.
The Communist Dems conspired with the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] to subvert the 2020 election and overthrow the sitting President of the United States, and C19 was released intentionally to pave the way for mass mail-in ballots.1

The stolen election in 2020 along with the Covid vaccines and lockdowns were the reasons I started The Asylum.
I was depressed and anxious after the 2020 stolen election. It was obvious it was stolen and to hear the mainstream media trot out their obligatory gaslighting words and phrases:
“conspiracy theory”
“baseless claims”
“without evidence”
“debunked”
“dangerous rhetoric”
“disinformation”
“the most secure election in American history”
“attack on democracy”
depressed me even more. But what could I do? The Asylum was my answer.
And they’re still at it. Here’s a headline from that bastion of truth and integrity, The New York Times, after Trump’s speech last night:
A Trump Obsession That Carries a Cost for Democracy2
They don’t give a damn about democracy or freedom or America, but they want their readers to think they do.
The Mainstream networks resorted to their old tactics: don’t show their audience Trump’s speech, but tell them what to think about it.
Put a rhetorician and a doctor before any crowd, let them compete for a medical post, and the rhetorician wins every time. The man who knows nothing beats the man who knows everything, provided the audience knows nothing too.3
But they wouldn’t even give the doctor a chance. They are that afraid. The networks are terrified both of more and more people realizing they were complicit (as was the print media) in not only covering up the stolen election but also in participating in it and of their easily manipulated base considering this. People living on a steady diet of lies are more easily persuaded than those on a steady diet of the truth.
Here are some of the memes from that era and some from more recently.

With all respect to Kunstler, he is wrong about the crowd. It will pick the rhetorician every time even if the crowd consists of knowledgable persons.
Recall the Asch conformity experiments. Even if you see Line C is shorter than lines A-E, if all the others at the table tells you Line D is the shortest, about 2/3s will agree it is shortest.
And even if being filmed, out of those 2/3s the majority will insist if later challenged, that they did pick the shortest line, and that the film of them complying with the group and picking the second shortest is wrong, fake or manipulated.
The stolen elections (because the USA isn't alone in that), the corporat media, the perfidious putrid gash of academia, the entertaintment sector - this is a war over the human spirit.
Not over what it is or is to be, but over whether or not humans will have spirit in the future, or just be hairless simian consumer-producer units on spreadsheets.
Good stuff!! I shared it
