Suppose They Threw a Protest for Stephen Colbert and (Almost) Nobody Came?

New Yorkers rose as one this weekend in protest of late-night philosopher king Stephen Colbert being forced off the air (eventually, someday) by Orange Man Literally Hitler™ in his latest crushing of dissent and our democracy.
 

Or perhaps not.

The "We're With Colbert" protest garnered 20 mostly bored-looking protestors — and only briefly. One masked defender of democracy carried a homemade sign that read "Go F*** Yourself" above a Photoshop collage of three different black church choirs. I suppose they were supposed to be singing her catchy slogan in their Sunday best.

So... um... there was that.

Even on social media — where it's basically free for bots to drum up fake-but-passable support for any cause du jour — "We're With Colbert" was a bust. My not-so-brief scroll through X's search results revealed a seemingly endless stream of links to the same New York Post write-up of the non-event, plus the occasional cruel comments from amused Righties.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
