Imagine you’re at a bar at 2 pm. You’ve never been there, and you see that the bar is full of regulars who appear to know each other. They seem affable, but you know you’re the new guy, and you’re walking into their territory. It’s up to you to fit in with the crowd, not the other way around.
The main guy doing all the talking points out the window to the parking lot. Since it’s mid-afternoon, the sun is blazing down on the cars. But he says, “Man, it’s getting darker and darker as summer comes on. By tomorrow it’s going to be impossible to find your car without a flashlight by the time 3 o’clock rolls around.” Everyone at the bar agrees, and many chip in with stories about how they stubbed their toes or twisted their ankles trying to pick their way through the darkness of full summer sun when they were kids.
I know what you’re thinking, reader. You’re thinking you’d immediately recognize that they were all suffering from a mass delusion, and you’d leave.
Not so fast. There’s a very good chance you’d start questioning your own sanity. Is he right? Does the sun make it dark outside, and you’ve been misled your whole life? After all, everybody else at the bar agrees; what if it’s me who’s crazy?
This is how the “reversal” or the “big lie” works. If you tell the opposite of the truth with enough conviction, and with a show of social solidarity on your side, you absolutely can convince normal, sane people to disbelieve their own eyes and start questioning their sanity.
Transgenderism got as far as it did in society because it uses the reversal, the big lie. It brazenly claims that men are women, and acts genuinely shocked when you disagree. People are so stunned by this that they stay silent, and then, person by person, they start agreeing.
Yesterday we brought you a story about Democrat House member Bill Keating losing his composure and shouting at committee chairman Ken Self because Self correctly referred to another lawmaker as “Mr. McBride.” He was referring to “Sarah” (nee Tim) McBride, a male representative from Delaware who wears dresses and calls himself a woman. The big reversal worked on Rep. Keating, who seemed genuinely emotionally triggered and angry that anyone could call the obvious male McBride an obvious male. He was offended and personally upset by a statement of reality.
Today, the day after the incident, McBride is working the big lie/reversal as hard as possible. And it works on anyone who’s on the left. True to narcissistic form, he spoke at a press conference about how people who won’t call men women are “weird” and obsessed with “weird” issues. Yes, it’s brazen, and that’s why it works.
Complete with valley girl vocal fry, and “on point” with au courant phrases—”I appear to live rent-free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues”—McBride managed to reverse the truth about just who is “weird” and it got the approval of his Democrat colleagues.
Let’s see what people on X/Twitter had to say.
Hmm. Sentiment seems to be running against Tim McBride.
This one is QED.
