An Absolute Essential Primer on Trump's Strategy to Gaslight and Create The New Normal We Are Now Living In - a Decade Later

It might have seemed preposterous a decade ago: Trump lies and gaslights, gets called out, never admits defeat. Rinse, repeat -- but each iteration more extreme. Now with a compromised government and bought-out media, the very thing he falsely claimed a decade ago actually exists -- because of him.

He lost 63 of 64 cases after his 2020 loss. He committed a coup, earned a second impeachment. Back then, major media censored him -- a step too far. For anyone normal, that would have been the end. For Trump, it would have been -- except he had position and influence.

There's no denying his criminality on January 6th. What he originally smeared as "another Democratic hoax" -- BLM, Antifa -- was actually his own supporters. Cameras exist. We have memories. Yet by 2023 he was calling perpetrators "hostages." Now he wants taxpayer money to sue the IRS over his leaked returns -- returns showing he paid $700 one year, zero several others. He promised to release them: "two weeks, two weeks, two weeks." Get fucked. You never intended to. Just like you never intended to drain the swamp -- because you are the swamp.

That is why we must re-establish credibility for the truth and restore sanity, accountability, justice under law. This illegal war, weaponized DOJ, media capitulation -- it must stop. It will stop.

Trump's "flood the zone" strategy may have worked in the past. Here at theunderKurrent, we've built the infrastructure and people-powered media to keep up -- long-form corpora, easily referenced. Whether you need a refresher on the full litany of abuses, you're arguing with your MAGA buddy, or you want every lie in one searchable place -- we've got you covered.

In the coming weeks I'll be doing a proper site launch. Right now I'm readying it. If you visit and want to learn more, become a member, contribute, donate -- please stick around. This community is not about me, not just about you. It's about something new. It's about us. It's about pledging that moving forward, we're better equipped to refuse the 24/7 news cycle, the endless minutia generated by Trump and his apparatus.

In the lead-up to the mid-terms: please share our Kronology and Corpora with influencers, in comments, everywhere. No one has built what we've built. It has the propensity to change the world -- to rise up, take our power back (as the majority), and call out attempts to rig the election before they happen. We have the full story here: 20+ concurrent attempts to undermine trust in this election.

Together, as a unified whole -- through deep curation, research, technology, and unified voice -- we can reclaim the narrative, demand dignity and accountability, and hold these abusive individuals to account. But that happens only after we collectively snap out of the first stage of grief: shock, stasis, fear. Then we remind ourselves we're not crazy -- we're deeply caring and brilliant. We spend more time trusting ourselves, forming coalition, spreading truth on a silver platter.

We may well be the first of its kind: a social media platform for the rest of us. Actually social, not driven by capitalism running rampant, seeking every worst human impulse. No. We'll pick it apart, tell the broader story, filter the noise, help one another see.

To those who engage in blasphemy, self-righteousness, gaslighting, misanthropy, abuse of power: (1) our kindness or silence was never inferred consent, nor a sign we haven't seen your abuses; (2) while we believe in equal justice, we will absolutely judge you -- it's not freedom of speech when you weaponize it to commit heinous acts and then act cute when you get away with it.

Given the trends we're seeing: no, we are not better off than four years ago. A rift has formed in MAGA. Even its supporters are noticing the extremes. To those only now picking up on the fraud: we told you so. And we cannot sit here and have a conversation just because you started caring when your own rights got taken away. Better late than never -- if you're sorry and done with the BS, welcome. Your integrity is lost, but just like Michael Cohen, you're welcome to hang around. We will ban you so fast your head will spin if you intend to cosplay your way into trust.

You are responsible for the shithole world we now live in. There's one final chance to save the old world -- not "Make America Great Again" with hate and lies, but "We the People" reclaiming the narrative, our power, our grace.

We're connecting the dots, forming a coalition, calling out abuses, setting the record straight. As the underKurrent: we never offered our inferred consent. These last months are proving ground for our nation's founding after previously being subjected to tyranny. This July 4th, let us celebrate our independence.

If we make it through this: (1) it must become a crime to lie, period; (2) being rich shouldn't buy you DARVO credits and endless bad-faith delay; (3) freedom of speech doesn't include crying wolf -- once an abusive pattern is established and you've been warned, swift jail time follows. No more big money in politics. No more rewriting of rules or two-tiered justice.

When Democrats win these mid-terms, a reckoning begins. That includes Nuremberg trials the likes of which you've never seen -- with gag and restraining orders. The same illegal surveillance systems weaponized against the public will be used to hold you accountable. Justice will be swift, as it will be sweet.

To anyone constantly thinking "has this world lost its damned mind?" -- yes, yes it has. It's not just you. We can pretend to be hopeless, or we can use our collective power to deny the inferred consent we never offered, and hold these sickos accountable for their constant subterfuge.It might have seemed preposterous a decade ago: Trump lies and gaslights, gets called out, never admits defeat.
