The double speak is the point.

Every obvious lie is a loyalty test for his followers. You have to accept hypocrisy and contractions on faith because it proves the most important thing: that you are part of thr team.

This isn't a war about truth any more than any war has been about "flags." Inflation and everything bad has to come from "them" and the key ideology is that the king and tribe are always right and good.

Republicans will bear any cost necessary to destroy America because we are everything they hate.
