we’re in agreement :-) what I said is a Orwell’s 1984 quote. My overly simplified explanation of the quote is that the governmental entities in the novel were able to maintain absolute authority because of a manufactured conflict. In essence, two sides intentionally maintained a stalemate at war so that each of them could keep absolute control over their populace using fear of the other. In reality, both groups were controlled by the same people-- an autocratic ruling class.

Given that the orange clown may not win the election, they need to bribe democrats into doing their bidding. This is what lobbies do.

Oh sorry, I thought you were mocking the person you replied to because they were trying to redefine truth somehow.
