The illusory truth effect is a well-studied and replicated psychological phenomenon that describes the fact that if a falsehood is repeated often enough, people will start to believe it. This has to do with familiarity – it’s easier to process information you’ve comes across previously.

People say "this is Trump's America" often, but it's also Vance's, Noem's, Miller's, Bondi's, Rubio's, Vought's etc. and the 40% that still support this abomination of a political party. I'd like to think most Americans are good people, but there seems to be a lot of soul-less deplorables among us!

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Imagine being one of the Epstein survivors.
First Epstein got a sweetheart deal.
Then Ghislaine Maxwell got hers.
Now, survivors' families are calling for justice...to release all the files. But the GOP won’t do it.

Why aren't we talking about TX 18? Their Rep passed away in Mar and Abbott did not hold an election until Nov and has not set a date yet for the run-off. The citizens have gone nearly a year without representation in Congress. Totally unacceptable.

If you haven’t seen this SiriusXM video in which Megyn Kelly excuses Epstein and others for rape by stating that they weren’t sexually abusing eight-year-olds, only 15-year-olds, save yourself the time.
It’s vile.

Yet they complain about the "abuse" of SNAP benefits!

Just to be clear, a Utah judge didn’t throw out the GOP’s biased new map because of a “partisan opinion.” Utah voters approved redistricting standards. The GOP ignored them. The map violated the voter-approved rules, that’s why it was rejected.
