The Reality Makers

This chapter examines how repeated misinformation influences public perception, particularly in political contexts. It contrasts the Republican strategy of shaping alternate realities with the Democrats' commitment to a 'reality-based community,' highlighting the manipulation of perception throughout various administrations. The discussion also touches on the failures of military strategies and the alternative forms of power exemplified by figures like Muqtada al-Sadr, concluding with a humorous metaphor about challenging dominant narratives.
