Denial is strong with those who have been conditioned to choose a different reality, from the rest of the world. I remember the message in early 2017 about "alternative facts," spread by the Tangerine Tyrant's spokesperson. That narrative fit perfectly with what had been declassified in 1984 about the KGB plan. Alternative facts are like phony stories about stolen elections, that are bought lock, stock and barrel by the successfully brainwashed.
