Sometimes all I can do is stare in awe at the power and efficiency of the imperial propaganda machine. When I first started this gig in 2016 Assange had way more support, from Berners, Greens, Trumpers, all across the spectrum. Now a large amount of that support has been eroded.

And here we have the liberals, who've been persuaded that publishing authentic and highly newsworthy documents of Democratic Party officials talking to each other makes Assange "a de facto member of an election campaign to get a white nationalist elected".https://twitter.com/Glozerdill/status/1191504142667321349?s=20 …

Here's a Trump supporter saying it's okay that this administration is persecuting Assange because Assange is a CIA asset and they need information from him. Like I said, the imperial narrative management machine is truly impressive.https://twitter.com/DrStefool/status/1191508345766731777?s=20 …

They're lining up to give me examples. Here's another Trump supporter arguing, on no basis whatsoever, that UK is acting alone in its persecution of Assange. For the record the US extradition request is the sole reason for Assange's continued imprisonment. https://twitter.com/ModernStyleFW/status/1191509538769375232?s=20 …

Here's another worthless Trump supporter who just popped up in my mentions on another thread. The "MAGA" crowd like to think of themselves as distinct from standard GOP partisans, but they're increasingly indistinguishable from Bush Republicans. https://twitter.com/SimJoeMoore/status/1191512907571499008?s=20 …

They're not all like that in fairness. Some are asking the right questions.https://twitter.com/LeonardBruce14/status/1191510930644967435?s=20 …

More propagandized insanity. AGAIN: Even if Trump were actually trying to free Assange in exchange for information (and he isn't), compelling a journalist to give up a source under threat of life imprisonment would be unforgivably evil and fascistic. https://twitter.com/markjohnt2/status/1191524685772550145?s=20 …

Here's an "I oppose the Trump administration's extradition agenda but I'll actively facilitate the smear campaign which led to it" hot take from a Bernie person. https://twitter.com/BenjaminHyle/status/1191556729273815042?s=20 …

Sad, because just two years ago there was significant support for Julian. I assumed those supporters were the very same people aware of MSM, it’s goal to manufacture consent, its Orwellian agenda, and are personally suffering from it in real time.
