I'm a dummy when it comes to this stuff, so i'm just testing out my thoughts in this area for better comprehension

I have no way of truly understanding anything in Politics as it happens, it's all smoke and mirrors, and innumerable misunderstandings layered on top of each other. I do regardless feel like talking about some things going on in the world. If anyone wishes to instruct me on how to think, you shan't get very far though, but any info is at least info that can help shape my understanding a little better.

There's a popular book from the far right that I purchased called Unhumans, it's basically making Communism the most evil thing in the world today, and that it's threat is there, so whatever the MAGA movement does is to go against such nefarious plans that are said to be there, like respectively, if saying something enough makes it true.

I'd at least like to understand better, and this is not understanding along the party lines of either position and all the other mini positions within each.

It's so divisive though that even talking like this about it is gonna get me in hot water with many, but I don't care when i'm not doing anything I honestly don't think is wrong. Is being able to critique those in power inherently wrong? Well I guess we're living in another time than i'd like it to be.

You’re not a dummy. We are all kept ignorant. By design.

@AthrillatheHunt Would it be like the proverbial "they" mean us to be confused and kept in the dark? That has a ring of truth to it, ty.

@MrAlmostCrazy we have a 1 party system. They are 1 team scrimmaging as shirts vs skins. They have us thinking they are 2 teams in competition. We allow ourselves to think that.

@AthrillatheHunt Not all. Most of us aren't like this.
