_____________________________
 
·       beware, when liars use common terms like:
 

“everybody knows”

 

“they”

 

“if you’re not with us, you’re against us.”

 
“everybody knows” is used to get you to believe that a majority of the people agree with the ridiculous claim made by the liar.  he’s trying to get you on board with his lie.
 
“they” (used loosely) can refer to a nationality/race (e.g. ‘haitians’) or a group of people (e.g. ‘immigrants’) or a gender’s skill-set (e.g. “they can’t drive!”), etc., etc.  in each case, the liar is promoting a pre-judgment of a group. 
 
when was the last time that you’ve heard the two (above) terms... used together?
 

“everybody knows that they…”

------------------------------------------

 
“if you’re not with us, you’re against us” -- is used as a threat… often used when a liar attempts to paint a this-or-that, black-or-white, us-vs.-them worldview.  “pro-life” vs. “pro-choice” is an excellent example of dividing people with similar belief systems into two, opposing groups:

“democrats” vs. “republicans.”

 
i’d wager that you agree with a lot of your political opponent’s views:
·       balance the damn budget!
·       support education.
·       stay out of our bedrooms!!
·       don’t give free money away to people who abuse the system.
·       don’t put a semi-automatic weapon in the hands of a lunatic.
·       cultivate clean energy for a better future for all.
·       promote safety and security, not war.
·       etc., etc., etc.  the list goes on and on.
 
except that… even though you agree with your democratic or republican ‘rival,’ the powers that win via ‘divide and conquer’ want the two sides to battle -- while the powerful laugh all the way to the bank (and their yatchs, and mansions, and super-bowl skyboxes).  
 
the average guy & gal -- might not be opponents at all.

* it even happens in sporting competitions: yankees vs. red sox, seminoles vs. gators, the olympics, etc.

* the next time that you fly in an airplane, look out the window (at the ground, below): there aren't any red states or blue states.  there is no such thing!

it is all made-up!
