On top of the narratives there is projection, the accusation that others are doing things that you yourself regularly do. Here are two statements VP Harris made in her speeches that were simply, projection. Gaslighting, a familiar tactic of the left wing media, was used by VP Harris in her speech. Gaslighting means to tell people that what they see is not really happening. You can't believe your lying eyes. Only believe us. But, Harris says that Florida, DeSantis, right wing racists, et al, are trying to make people believe in the new state curriculum, which they say is not true or real. She says you must only believe us, we are the ones with truth and honesty in our messaging. After laughing, you see that this is projection by definition and worse, a lie in this case. Kamala Harris then adds the political narrative of 'changing history' to the speech. This is a favorite narrative of both sides. Harris believing that Florida and other states do not and have not taught students about slavery. That is untrue. I grew up in Virginia and slavery was ever present in the history curriculum when I went to school. The right says that Democrats are 'changing history' by saying the entire United States is illegitimate because slavery is responsible for everything, including US economic growth and its founding as a racist state. Projecting 'history changing' onto this Florida curriculum is void of anything factual, but again reflects the attempt by Democrats to 'gaslight' the public by flooding the political zone with conflicting narratives. As guessed above, what is happening here by Democrats, activists and the media is individually and collectively to: -do damage to Gov DeSantis, for 2024 and beyond (because he had success with minorities in Florida during the 2022 election) -attack the success in Florida, including eliminating CRT, an integral part of the social transformation agenda. -confirm the US as systemically racist', another important political narrative -indict US citizens who participate or agree with what Florida is doing in education. -further convict all white people (especially Republicans), as CRT does to even 10 yr old children, as responsible for slavery & racism. This style of messaging can be easily seen if you force yourself to ignore the political narratives and just look at the issue, in this case educating our children. If one side says the program is flawed and the other says it is accurate, then both can't be right. If one side says the other side is lying, and the other side says no, they are lying, then both can't be right. Unfortunately, since you can't believe either side, you will have to investigate the allegations on your own to determine the truth. That is what Mr Cooke did and for each of us to be sure he is not lying, we have to read it ourselves, too. There are other ways to determine where the truth resides. Look at the people who are criticizing the plan. Democrat politicians (Harris), education unions, and left wing activists (who have been in control of school curriculum until recently are following the curriculum development, reading it line by line to find some language they spin into an effective narrative). Also, look for editorial bias that for no reason other than a biased opinion, inserts words like 'controversial' into the story. Ask yourself what makes it controversial? The answer is only that the other side doesn't like it! That's not controversial, or truthful, that is biased journalism. Lastly, 'vary your news sources'. This is critical for you to get a healthy understanding of our destructive political environment today.
