      welcome to postmodern authoritarian conservatism. it premiered to the public with george dubya bush just randomly declaring victory in iraq and afghanistan knowing full well those wars would last over a decade after the declaration of victory, carried through trump just declaring that he had the biggest inauguration crowd ever, then stopped off briefly at “the election was stolen” and now its “the most moral army in the world hunts down and kills its own citizens”.

        Some say it came first when they said those four frames they released from the Pentagon security camera showed a passenger airliner.
