ahm hypmotized! i keep thinking about the absurd notion of trump as a peacenik. a fascist peacenik throbbing with booty-lust over massive arms sales? it stuns my brain. i don't know what the fuck to do with that but laugh derisively over dry tears. the only peace the sick fuck trump will bring anywhere will be the relative peace when his raytheon and co. bombs subside, when the target country is looted and or destroyed. the haunted peace following unthinkable atrocity. it's business as usual: war crime. and it can't be stopped.
American political discourse is plagued by propagandistic rhetoric depicting the Trump administration as differing from previous presidencies by embracing anti-war politics. But this sort of misinformation can only take hold in a political-media environment that is systematically distorted. The Trump administration is brazenly contemptuous of the very idea of truth. It has embraced an “anything goes” mentality with its political spin, via its commitment to “alternative facts” and independent of any empirically-verifiable political reality. This cynical manipulation makes informed political discourse difficult to impossible. The “Trump as anti-war” psychosis is a great example of the victory of propaganda in this “post-truth” era.
