Narratives

  • Pro-Trump narrative, as provided by InfoWars. The mainstream media has a history of misrepresenting Trump, while supressing anything that undermines the Democrats' narratives. Trump was not requesting the Georgia election results be tampered with, he was urging the ballots be scrutinized for dishonesty.
  • Pro-establishment narrative, as provided by CNN. The former president continues to spin his 'Big Lie' about the 2020 presidential election, and try to rewrite his well-documented crimes against democracy, which range from election interference to inciting insurrection. He is now flailing, unable to escape the damning recording of his call with Raffensperger.
