The MSM-Democrats are practicing a form of virtual-reality politics that is made possible by the widespread availability of immersive media and social media. They are constructing a credible alternative reality in cyberspace; this alternative reality has its own virtual facts and its own virtual logic.

There are many, many people who believe in the MSM-Democrat narrative. They believe that the original Steele "dossier" is 100% true. They believe that Trump colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016, and they believe that the Russian intelligence apparatus used the internet to undermine Hillary Clinton's message to voters and to steal votes from her by interfering with voting machine data collection.

They believe that what Adam Schiff read into the Congressional Record on September 26th was an actual, verbatim transcript of a conversation between Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that took place on July 25th of this year. They believe that President Trump did in fact use American financial aid as a lever to force Zelensky to give Trump dirt to hurt Joe Biden in his bid to become President in 2020.

They absolutely believe every one of these things, and that Brett Kavanaugh raped Christine Blasey Ford when he was in high school, and that he participated in gang rapes of Blasey Ford and other high-school girls at that time.

They are basically separating America into two distinct Americas, with different realities and different belief systems. They are using modern communications technology to do this.

I think you have this almost exactly backwards. The Democrats have been doing this for at least 50 years.

Now, with social media, the Internet, and talk radio, Conservatives are able to get out the truth, which acts as a "red pill" to the MSM-Democrats virtual construction of reality.

Good points. Similar to what the NAZIs did in Germany, creating a separate reality where Jews were less than human and deserving of every evil heaped upon them. Conservatives are the new German Jews...
