@HopeIoffe [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : 🤣 Yes, this is white, straight male Stephen Miller. He tried similar crap for the 2022 elections, and we know how that worked. Miller helped Trump lose 2020 and he’s useless. #Equity #Woke [URL redacted] [URL redacted]

Supplementary #WebsiteDeSmog "But an analysis of financial disclosure forms shows the same small group of donors supporting Project 2025's advisors again and again -- hardly a sign of ideological diversity. Of the 110 nonprofits formally supporting Project 2025, almost 50 received major donations from the same six sources of wealth since 2020. Many of the organizations the six families funded also have close ties to Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, DeSmog found. Trump has repeatedly denied involvement in or knowledge of Project 2025, though that position conflicts with a growing number of news reports -- a disavowal made more awkward by the fact that Vance wrote the foreword to Dawn's Early Light, a forthcoming book by Heritage Foundation president Kevin D. Roberts that describes his Project 2025 vision. DeSmog's review of Project 2025's financial backers found additional links to Trump, Vance, and key figures in their orbit that had not been previously known. These six donor networks, linked to the family fortunes of a handful of wealthy industrialists, have spent years working to loosen environmental regulations and promote climate change denial. Though Heritage describes Project 2025 as a mainstream effort to 'return government to the people,' its funding sources suggest something far less populist: a vehicle for the obsessions of ultra-rich donors on the far-right fringe, pushing an agenda to reshape American democracy and overturn regulations needed to maintain a livable climate."

Supplementary In this fallacy one argues, 'I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it.' This latter is also a fallacy of stasis, confusing a respectful and reasoned response or refutation with personal invalidation, disrespect, prejudice, bigotry, sexism, homophobia or hostility. ... 'Alternate Facts' work to 'put you off balance,' 'control the story,' and 'make you think you're crazy,' and she notes that 'presenting alternate facts is the hallmark of untrustworthy people.' The Alternative Truth fallacy is related to the Big Lie Technique.

"It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a peculiar kind of cynicism--an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established. In other words, the result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be de-famed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end is--being destroyed" (Hannah Arendt, 1967, p.82).
