The communists don’t care if you know they are lying. It is part of flaunting their power.

Joe Biden lied and insulted them to their face this Weekend, and they lapped it up. Why shouldn’t his press secretary?

Is there anyone with a brain that trusts them to report the “news”?

They did this to themselves.

democucks.

[[The communists don’t care if you know they are lying. It is part of flaunting their power.]]

Exactly- Theopdore agrees with you-

-——Theodore Dalrymple———

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to
reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced
to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.

One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think
if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”
