“OMG! The power we have! With the enthusiastic cooperation of the willfully gullible media we can keep this going through the elections in 2022. And we can maintain our power so we never have to answer for what we have done. But it was all justified. Justified by the importance of maintaining the power of the state against threats from those knuckle dragging enemies of the state.”
willfully gullible media....nice way of saying what they really are. ;-)
