There is a fear of the truth...
Because people do not want to make their friends angry. So they pull their punches. They do not want to say, "Yes, you are stupid." "Yes, you are naive and gullible." "Yes, you are part of a cult." Because, they know it would do no good. So, the truth only darts within the shadows.
They do not say that Donald Trump is a hypocrite of the highest order. He has never read the Bible or the Constitution. Yet, he pretends... and few challenge him on his hypocrisy, because his cult believes he was sent by God.
They do not tell their friends that Donald Trump knew he lost the election. He knew he could tell his naive followers anything and they would believe him.
He is an outlaw. - outside all boundaries of the laws of this country. And all the leaders, and the Justice Dept, want the voters to make a bet they would never make in the real world. They want the people to vote on whether or not more people will believe the lies of Donald Trump or will look at the facts right in front of their noses? It is not a sure bet. It is a gamble. More voters may actually believe the "lie" over everything. It is a bet that never should have been taken.
You hope and pray you do not lose your bet on the American people. That they will be wise enough to see thru the lies and propaganda. That is a huge bet.
