By "Americans" Mike Johnson means conservative white people. Anyone else is unAmerican, and thus not an American. And Republicans have "restored" their in-group's freedom of speech: it's never been safer for them to spew racist hate, bigotry, and lies without fear of legal or social consequences. He's absolutely correct under all of the dog-whistle definitions the Republicans use for the important terms in his statements.

It's pretty easy to know what's actually happening by just taking the opposite of what they say

Food prices are down -> Food expenses are increasing

More jobs for americans -> one of the highest rated of unemployment

X city is full of criminals -> everyone just trying to live a normal life

It used to be, before everyone had a printing press in their pocket.

Very well. History's industrial scale marketing and distribution hubs are operated by the victors.

It doesn't have to be absolutely true to be a truism.

For the kind of mind that operates on a truthiness instead of a factual level maybe
