Inducing an electorate to believe their lot in life is caused by the "other". Disadvantaged and or undereducated people are easy to manipulate with promises of winning. So are people already filled with hate and entitlement. Many of the comments here are directly related to just this.
@softspokenman the US voters need to wake up, to actually listen to what is being said, look at what had actually happened since once 2017. When I hear Iowans say that Biden is just a puppet and the real president is Obama, you know what they are really saying!
The creation of a thumbed down low IQ citizenry who by and large rely on willful ignorance, immediate gratification and convenience while ignoring the fragility of their freedom, privacy, safety, security and way of life.
The drone generation is the greatest gift tyranny ever received.
Altering reality, the establishment of "alternative facts." This has altered thinking to the point where many people can no longer tell truth from fiction?
@samueltyler2 Very true. We have always known of propaganda during wartime. But in post war time, we had a variety of newspapers to form our own judgements. The TV stations gave a semblance of impartiality. But today we believe what we read on the INTERNET, and here we are manipulated by whoever. And we don’t notice it.
Think about the 3,000 year war that is going on in the middle east and everyone (men, women, and children) that has died or enslaved in all those thousands of years.
@meJess I hate to hear that, whether or not it’s in jest. There are few freedoms more important than the right to vote. I’m reading a new biography of MLK and voting rights were such a huge focus of his work.
@TrashCat Yeah I think Billy Elliot’s dad would agree with you – food is the cruelest political weapon of all time. During a coal miners strike in England the Prime minister used “starve them back to work” tactics. Cheers!
