White House Ficdep Launches January 6 Historical Negationism

Donald Trump’s Ministry of Truth Fiction Department rewrites January 6 history:

The Democrats masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as “insurrectionists” and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump—despite no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government.

And:

Following the President’s speech, the massive crowd peacefully marches down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol to protest the certification of the fraudulent election. The march is orderly and spirited, with flags, signs, and chants supporting President Trump.

Someone should demand Trump and his lackeys watch the videos and explain how beating police officers is “peaceful” and smashing windows is “spirited.”

Placing Nancy Pelosi’s “I take responsibility” quote front-and-center is especially galling if you actually watch what she said instead of relying on Trump’s mischaracterization.

George Orwell, 1984:

Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.

We’re solidly into doublethink territory.
