This mirrors what Karl Rove stated years ago: “A lie repeated over & over becomes the truth!” I’ve never forgotten his statement and he & his minions have counted on that working!!
Rewriting history doesn’t change what happened. It seems as though there is no lowest level. We reach new lows in vile and disgusting behavior every single day. I fear for us all. Democrats need to target Independents. They will be where this fight for democracy will be won.
It doesn't have to change what happened. All it has to do is change people's perceptions of what happened. Millions of USians think the Civil War was all about state's rights and had nothing to do with slavery. Millions more think "manifest destiny" was a good thing (maybe even a God thing) and don't connect it to the genocide of Native peoples.
History is being continually rewritten. Often the results broaden and deepen our understanding of what happened. Sometimes, however, the rewriting is all about erasing and distorting, as is going on in Florida and elsewhere.
It is the erasure that’s concerning. Seems we are currently experiencing the effects of the adage “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.
These people are sick and evil! They really want to side with Hitler? That is insane! The Holocaust cannot be denied. There is so much information out there. We must guard our education system to make sure kids are taught the truth.
Also, when people want to eliminate oversight it’s because they want to lie, cheat & steal!
Please continue to specifically call out the enablers that you interacted with that are allowing and orchestrating this take over of our country. Miller. Vought. The brains that are manipulating power and money hungry humanless Trump. As well as manipulating the unqualified unethical me too dweebs that occupy administration positions. Patel. Bongino. Bondi. Noem. Bessent.........
Go Olivia Troye. Your patriotism, courage, intelligence is what America needs.
Olivia i look forward to these covfefe columns even as 😳. in high school (1972) i watched the Nuremberg Trials film - shuddering, even in the black and white film). i recall Gov Reagan being po’d about students holding protests against the American war in Vietnam (that’s what the Vietnamese call it); he declared there had to be an end to critical thinking being taught in education. while serving as president he fulfilled 60% of the Heritage Foundation list given to him. this included reframing Liberalism - all as equal - to Neoliberalism. somehow only money counts, people be damned. with GWBush establishing ICE ( now a brute squad) and clear compiling all phone records NSA no surprise there is no longer secure privacy but that they can turn our phones into listening devices freaks me out as does the demise of any safeguards for people.
Olivia, thank you for having the antenna up. Frightening developments that I almost don’t want to read but we have to be informed. Hitler and his sycophants were ghouls. Those f@ckers killed tens of millions of Jews. What else do you need to know about what happened to condemn it? Jews have been present in my life the whole time. I love Jews, even if I disagree with the extent to which Israel is pursuing its campaign. What is the matter with these people on the far right? On what planet is what Hitler did OK? I had voted Republican in the majority of elections until Trump and I don’t know how these people have become legitimized by my former party. Head spinning here.
Did you ever notice how much money is being spent to things against people and the cuts are to programs that do things for people? And these people call themselves Christian!
Olivia: As usual, your points are so eye-opening and, in this post ----- SCARY! Many of my same-minded acquaintances are so upset with the mango Mussolini, but I stress to them - the responsible parties are the registered voters who put him in office. They knew what he was, and should have known about project 2025, which became public a year and a half before the election. Yet they voted for a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, etc. And sadly, 34-36% of registered voters did not even vote! Do you think the non-voters and the ones that voted for the mango are just ignorant, apathetic, brainwashed, or all three? Obviously, these people have lost or never had a moral compass. I'd be interested in your thoughts, Thanks, Steve
They all refused to believe Trump would ever initiate the ideas from project 2025. His minions have made every effort to institute project 2025 and it’s only the beginning.
I can’t stop thinking about MAGA’s plan to rewrite history… I keep remembering one of the 4-year-old children I worked with ask another 4-year-old “What is a Nazi?” And the other child replied “They’re evil, just evil”. I want to find that little boy (a grown man now) and shake his hand. He had more sense at 4 than many grown ass adults have now days!
Thank you Olivia for your bravery and courage in these very tumultuous times with so much chaos and certainty of a free and democratic nation slipping into a demonic cesspool of misery , not only for a few but all, MAGA included . Trumps build up of his personal gestapo force of ICE agents with their new spyware to monitor all, collecting voting , work related issues data and all personal information and correspondence only to incarcerate folks in one of their concentration camps. Not only the black and brown skinned folks but the dissenters and political foes. It seems the democrats and the independent ones still feel like the courts and the rule of law still applies, but the regime is operating like a true Nazi fascist party right now. The dropping in polls for the republicans and Trump cause them no concern. The elections will be truly rigged with gestapo poll watcher JD Vance's diatribe about increasing the baby production only relegates the women to a second class citizenship. I feel they want to take the voting power away from the women , they should just stay home and be subservient to their masters, Produce more children (I'm sure they mean white children) According to Pastor Doug Wilson , Pete Hegseth's spiritual advisor , its a good idea to spank your wife if she does not submit to your desires. Yes a perfect disciplined household. Another proposal would allegedly bestow a “National Medal of Motherhood” to moms in the U.S. who have six or more children along with a $5,000.00 baby bonus. Nazi Germany gave German mothers a gold medal is she bore eight children. Sorry about the rant. God Speed.
Olivia, I don’t know which of this morning’s five things scares me the most. Really… what fresh hell is this?
Ahhhh - “what fresh hell can this be”? We all need more Dorothy Parker in our daily lives!
This mirrors what Karl Rove stated years ago: “A lie repeated over & over becomes the truth!” I’ve never forgotten his statement and he & his minions have counted on that working!!

Rove got that from Joseph Goebbles.
He’s a Kapo.

Oh, but it was. They just omit that it was the state's right to own human beings like cattle.
These people are sick and evil! They really want to side with Hitler? That is insane! The Holocaust cannot be denied. There is so much information out there. We must guard our education system to make sure kids are taught the truth.

They have officially flipped the switch and we are now reliving the 1930’s.
Shameful!

They should be afraid of independent voters. I am one and I am mad as hell- I’m not alone.
Vought doesn't want any org checking his power, his will. A trump mini-me.

There is a term for what is happening to Americans now. It is called BRAINWASHING. Don't fall for it.
We also banned Achy Breaky Heart in our family. It had to be done.
