Exceedingly well said. I will send to my Trump favoring sister in hopes that bit by bit blinders will come off.

Excellent, Ken. Every day brings a fresh outrage, another lie. Perhaps in the hope we'll forget the previous day's outrage. We must keep pointing them out.

Good piece, Ken.

So good, Ken. What frightens me as much as anything is the fact that those on the right won't be reading this or pretty much anything they don't already believe.

We're on the same wavelength, Ken (https://howtrue.substack.com/p/its-come-to-this-government-by-gaslight). I appreciate your deeper read of Orwell. Your book club sounds extraordinarily prescient. What is your group reading next?

Excellent piece, Bill. "Gaslight" is a true noir classic, one of my favorites, and as prescient in its own way as Orwell. The Charles Boyer character would certainly fit right into Trump's orbit.

Thank you, Carol. You've identified a large part of the problem.
