Yes, they are lying to themselves. But crowd psychology is interesting in the way it can suddenly break to a different narrative after enough persuasion. Like cows finding some fresh grass. I am but a lowly pede, but 2 things strike me.
Now that election day has come and gone, people are past the "vote against OrangeMan" and are taking a good look at Biden and Harris and contemplating what 4 years of that really means, and they can't help but compare to Trump. Some of them already publicly admit regretting voting for Biden/Harris. Many other people trust, or at least listen, to those people. A fairly large percentage is starting to regret.
The vast evidence of fraud is making it mainstream. And even if some of the things we've seen is really technically legal, it is REALLY persuasive. It REALLY looks like shenanigans. Shenanigans or not, it looks like shenanigans.
So, don't give up. Be ready. Some of those blockhead normies are hopeless, but many will be wanting a new perspective when they realize that everything they have been told is a lie. MSM will shift ("We have always been at war with Eastasia.") and will fight hard and attack us to try to keep the normies in The Narrative. But they might have used up most of their ammo. The normies are just brainwashed, like POWs in concentration camps of their own minds. We can be there to pull some of them out - just by talking to them or just letting them see that people do in fact live outside of The Narrative.
I've been trying. It's just so bloody obvious that all the major news push the same spin on the same stories (and ignore others) and use the same phrasing. People prefer to whine about it instead of giving it a name that works. We took "Fake News" from them and shoved their faces in it - it worked. Giving a thing a label and ridiculing it works (if the label makes sense). I think "The Narrative" is even more damaging than "Fake News", but... it hasn't caught on. Yet.
Use it, and it'll catch on. Wasn't too long ago it seemed very lonely using "Uniparty", but that caught on. So did "Deep State". I see them everywhere now. Remember when mentioning the Deep State made you a conspiracy theory nut?
And lately people have started arguing about the capitalization of all sorts of other things with all sorts of various reasonings. Real popular atm is White vs white and Black vs black. Distraction...
I also occasionally use The Machine, but no one likes that. They can easily see the government and the news media and entertainment media and election fraud and others all working together against us, but meh...
Give it a name, ridicule it. Because it's ridiculous.

The Narrative
We should make this standard lingo. We don't actually live in a simulation, but The Narrative would bring us closer to it.
