Fog of War

Texas is just one of many Trump-inflamed U.S. states to engage in an accelerating movement to seize political control of the nation. The ability to whip up hysteria in their "base" is essential to the mental conditioning to accept the unacceptable: lies are the new truth and hate is love. The big push among the Trump-GOP movement is state legislative power to establish electoral commissions empowered to review election results, nullify them on the basis of "fraudulent votes" and then rule to select alternate candidates of their own choosing. In effect, to solidify one-party rule of the nation. T'is a perfectly fitting goal if one accepts the premise that ex-President Trump won the election and President Biden is an illegitimate successor who took office on the back of a massive election fraud. Under the new "rules of truth," that seems a perfectly plausible argument, if one is careful not to let reality interfere with delusional argument.
