[#]Lying from the top as a central tenet of #authoritarianism:
As the #Trump regime takes over US tomorrow & has shown clear intent to do so using a page or more from the playbook of Russia, it’s important to remember some learnings from the USSR.
”We know that you know that we’re lying, but we’re rubbing it in your face that we can do it, so we’ll do it anyway” is AN EXCERCISE OF POWER MORE THAN OF UNTRUTHFULNESS.
The quicker you flip the script on this one, the sooner you can start to resist!
