Rewriting History

I blame the prevalence of those bloody conspiracy fantasies, (they most certainly don't deserve to be referred to as 'theories').  Continued exposure to them, particularly, of late, in mainstream media, seem to have completely addled the brains of many US citizens. Because this, surely, can be the only explanation for so many people in the US apparently still believing that President Biden wasn't fairly elected and has somehow 'stolen' the election from Trump with falsified poll results.  Oh yes, not to forget the attempted insurrection at the Capitol by fanatical Trump supporters this time last year - that was actually a 'false flag' operation organised and carried out by liberals pretending to be crazy ass right-wing crackpots.  History, it seems, is being rewritten in front of us - and not ancient history, but the events of only twelve months ago that we all witnessed live on TV.  But it is the continued popularisation of conspiracy fantasies which has laid the ground for this, with their continued undermining of established and provable fact and their replacement with infantile fantasies about evil cabals manipulating the media, faking moon landings, pandemics and lying to us about the fact that the earth is really flat.  (Actually, there really is a cabal of individuals attempting to manipulate the media and governments, but they do it in plain sight.  But because they are simply the super-rich trying to make themselves and their cronies richer and not shape-shifting lizards drinking people's blood, or secret societies of peadophiles, nobody seems interested).

What next, I wonder.  If it looks as if Trump might be indicted for some of the shit he perpetrated during his term as president, might we have the spectacle of him and his people categorically denying that he ever was president?  Will we hear him denouncing claims that he occupied the Oval Office as 'fake news' and dismissing TV footage of him as president as propaganda faked by the liberal news media?  At the rate things are going, I wouldn't rule out seeing Rudy Giuliani standing outside a garden centre decrying former 'President' Hilary Clinton for her disastrous single term in office which she is now trying to cover up with baseless claims that his client Trump had, in fact, been president during those four years. We could see history rewritten on the largest scale yet, with all the usual extreme right wing fruit cakes busily manufacturing 'evidence' to try and convince the American people that there actually had been a Hilary Clinton presidency.  You can just see all the usual suspects ranting away on their podcasts and internet misinformation, sorry, 'news', shows about how the mainstream media have been involved in using their airwaves to perpetrate some kind of mass hypnosis to make America forget President Hilary Clinton and convince them that Trump had actually been president when, in reality, he had spent the past four years playing golf.  Crazy?  No crazier than people still believing that the presidential election was 'stolen', believing that Brexit was a good idea or voting Boris Johnson into Number Ten.  But remember folks, no matter how much they try to brainwash you, just remember that the world is not flat, Paul McCartney is not dead and they really did land on the moon.
