What You Must Believe as an American in 2021

As far as I can tell, this is what we are now supposed to believe as Americans, in this first year of the Glorious Deep State's Blessed and Eternal Reign:

Our country is so irredeemably racist that people of all races keep sneaking into the United States at breakneck speeds. Our military is so well prepared for future threats from China and Russia that it can dedicate its resources to spreading transgenderism through its ranks, pontificating about "white rage" at book clubs, firing servicemembers for not "vaxxing up," and challenging "climate change" to bouts of fisticuffs. Our border is so secure that we have time to worry about Ukraine's. China is so worrisome a global adversary that our political and business "elites" continue to transfer American wealth and manufacturing capabilities to its shores. Russia is so much of a geopolitical foe that our government's weather warriors have chosen to kill America's domestic energy production and increase Russia's leverage over the world's supply of oil and natural gas. And Iran, which continues to promise "death to Israel," must be coddled and rewarded before it hurts our friends.

A global pandemic caused by a virus most likely created in a Chinese lab with the assistance of U.S. government funds must still be treated as if it just magically appeared. It poses so little threat to young people that their lives must be turned upside-down. Masks were useless until they became mandatory to prove loyalty to the State. The virus should be regarded as if it were so deadly that the only way to survive is to get pumped full of experimental "vaccines." At the same time, encouraging lawless mass migration and actively resettling untreated illegal aliens around the country isn't deadly at all.

The left lies about things that I see no reason to lie about. But keeping people uninformed and off balance over reality is my guess as to why they do it.

They serve the Father of Lies. There is no truth in them.

"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small.
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.”

― Theodore Dalrymple.

Sounds like 1984.1

Masks were useless until they became mandatory to prove loyalty to the State.

There is probably a little something to that. My theory is by now most health professionals know statistically masks don't work. If they did, red state governors like DeSantis would be highly recommending them. Blue state governors like Pritzker have so much invested in mask mandates, that it would crush the democratic party base if they admitted they are useless.
