"As Hannah Arendt put it in the last public interview she gave, 'If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. . . . With such a people you can then do what you please.'

Once this basic orientation is understood, it becomes clearer how familiar critiques and tactics miss the point."

"'ATTEMPTED MURDER: An ICE officer is fighting for his life after he was allegedly ambushed with a shovel and a broom handle by 3 illegal immigrants during a traffic stop that quickly spiraled into a foot chase, a violent struggle, and gunfire.''

This is what Kristi Noem said right after the incident: 'What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.'”

"But now DOJ has just filed a motion to dismiss all the charges. Prosecutors said this in their motion to dismiss: 'Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit.'”

"Fact-checking does not fail because it is too weak; rather, it fails because it is aimed at persuasion on individual points of fact—a tactic the opponent has already abandoned. What MAGA is trying to do instead is build a culture of submission to an unaccountable authority."
