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.
@samueltyler2 Thanks 👍. More nightmares 😵‍💫

@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!
@samueltyler2 I agree. "We love you Trump."

When working-class people are tricked by wealthy-corporate interests into attacking the very people who are trying to help them.

@badminton That's a fact and insane

@badminton and the democrats are NOT trying to help the working class people.

The future will note: The final years of 20th century anti-trust, anti monopoly, pro citizenry legislation that added on labor protections, securities and exchange rules, banking and finance regulation was being dismantled. This became a cause celebré for all political scheming. Incoming elected officials routinely became 8 figure millionaires. Appointed agency heads being granted lucrative jobs at the very companies they regulated after someone new was appointed in their job.

The public reacted with grass roots activism such as the well known occupy wall street protests, led by people such as Andrew Brietbart, suddenly dying from heart failure in their 40s. Bank failures were mirrored by large swaths of urban high risk issued mortgages classified as moderate or low risk, failing by the millions. Bank insolvency and protest stories were sneakily replaced with government bail out stories, banking bonus payout stories, and school shootings until a black president promised to change things.

Nothing changed but the stories in the news. Suddenly it was 1967 all over again. Race protests, gay protests, war protests, political extremists and pro war profiteers were acting as if none of the robbery ever happened.

No one guessed what I had in mind, but it's between a woman and her doctor and should be her own moral decision.

All these comments claiming propaganda which can be used for either good or evil is just more proof that the educational church known as the federally managed public schools and universities don't just fail to educate, they miseducate.

Almost to the same level as the false indocrination of pedigree hammered into "private" (which now are actually ngos) universities.

It's easy to tell the lying power craving borderline sickopaths from the monkey see monkey do low resolution high bank account parrots. They're always saying things that sound so fukd.

Destiny style:::

To not condemn life destroying stupidity, making a father, husband firefighting hero to many a corpse and the kids fatherless and wife widowed is no big deal to a blue hair college lefty gamehead thc addicted boybistsh.

To

Some fat witch claiming to be a yogist dictating aw dang too bad there wasn't more death into her favorite birdbra8n site.

Guess what? They're going to hell. I'll guarantee it. That's what happens when you let someone teach you how to be the ignorant child of hell.
Evil existing in the hearts of mankind ….This is the oldest and most cruel and will continue to be so til the end!

If you don't understand it's not your fault.

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.

The use of power in order to maintain power for its own sake, instead of for the general benefit of the populace.

The proproganda tool known as Internet 2.0

It has hyper radicalized so many people and socially engineered people to be extremely emotional yet complacent.

Pretending that your vote actually makes any difference.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
@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.

Religion. 😞

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.

@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!

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.

The use of gods has been particularly horrible.

Hiding under the skirts of gods has resulted in many sadistic murders in the pursuit of wealth and power.

Rape

This has been a political weapon used world wide and since conflict began.

Rape by a soldier is very different to sexual assault as it is not about the sex but the power the revenge the act of war.

Kidnapping children from their families.
