And, you know, I'm really interested to see like what the polling is on this.

And it's been too early, but like, I'm really curious because it's clearly a narrative battle.

And there's a lot of dug in Trump supporters who are really pushing hard, led by JD Vance and Kristi Noem and Donald Trump, that the media is somehow gaslighting America.

I mean, it's a strange thing where like both sides are accusing the other of gaslighting one another.

And it's,

Someone is winning this narrative battle, and I'm really curious to see how that is.

For me, it's clear as day.

And it almost doesn't even matter.

Like, she shouldn't have been shot in the face, right?

Like, that's full stop.

That's almost 99% of all that needs to be said.

There is a difference.

I've written about this.

You can't win a debate with someone who's willing to lie.

Debate is based on shared reality and a mutual acceptance of facts.

When there is a group who's willing to say whatever they want, gaslight, lie, stretch the truth, exaggerate, and do that repeatedly,

Your point is that, you know, that's sort of where we are, right?

This is where we are, where they're, you know, particularly this Trump administration has no sort of, I find,

obligation to promote facts or the truth.

Instead, they focus entirely on a narrative or a storyline that props up Trump.
