Thank you for this super clear description of authoritarian manipulation of truth. It’s despicable, infuriating, and I hate to admit this, but sometimes it feels like an evil so powerful and tricky that I doubt our ability to overcome it. But shining a light on it, a glaring light, is the ONLY way to expose it, to amplify our understanding of it, and to make strong plans for weakening and beating it.

The distorted thinking of dementia is heartbreaking to experience. I’m glad my mother is no longer confused. At least she had Alzheimer’s as an excuse!
