A phrase created by activist Reena Walker and first used in her group Progressive Black Thinkers on Facebook and then picked up by political writers and producers in the news media that were group members. It means to convey a story that isn't real but to characterize it as if it is by creating a false story behind the situation in order to make it factual, when the history itself never happened.
Donald Trump is pushing a false narrative that the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt created by the Democratic party, even though Mueller is a Republican.

This (Jordan Peterson's most recent video with the military strategist) is the most blatant example of propagandists narrative construction I have ever seen.
Hym "And the purpose of narrative construction is to convince the audience to believe your delusion. So, let's take a look at the axioms of the narrative Jordan Peterson is trying to construct..."
Dr. JeepJorp "Hamas is using a human sacrifice strategy and making us violate the international rules of war."
Hym "No. It looks like Hamas' strategy was to take hostages and negotiate for rights and prisoners and it looks like the jews have been caught on several occasions lying about Oct 7, their goals, and their methods. They're not making you do anything. People either have to follow the international rules of war or the don't. Unless the rules are unjust in some way there's no reason for the Jews to be given an exemption."
Dr. JeepJorp "The Jews are a successful minority and are therfore a proxy for all successful people."
Hym "No, no one conceptualize the Jews as 'The quintessential successful minority' except for Zionist and their shills (Which is clearly Jordan Peterson). They invented their own morality, are the sole arbiters of when exceptions are allowed, and it's predicated on the blatant lie that they spoke to the creator of the universe. And NOW... They are actively running a propaganda campaign to ACTUALLY take credit for all of the 'good' things in society as though they aren't a delusion, genocidal, incest, slavery cult."
