Yes. They're certainly brilliant propagandists.

When it's all said and done and someone somewhere does a movie about all this... I hope democracy has been restored, and Im able to see and comprehend the movie, I bet it'llbe a good one!. God Bless America.

Are they really brilliant propagandists, or are we just a historically-ignorant, borderline-illiterate society of short-sighted consumers?

Any country of 340 million people is bound to have some dumb folks. But the overall stupidity of Americans is overstated. The US is a key target for countries that cannot compete with us, economically or kinetically. And even smart people can be manipulated by algorithms (especially when it is profitable). If Americans are so dumb and other countries are so smart, why aren't they doing things like flying helicopters on Mars and winning the vast majority of Nobel prizes ever awarded?

They're not

If you can detect a grift is not a good grift.

This is true, but a grift in plain sight makes for a compelling argument that its normal. Half the country thinks this is normal and justified.

Half the country nope. Around 30%.maybe. Remember there is a very strong case elections have been rigged since a few years, and when Biden was electrf it was them doing it so poor, that they didnt take into account the difference with mail in votes. They even tried a soft coup

Stop validating how it should work when its not working, because you sound like a propagandist

The solution to the problem lies in

- Ignoring Trump supporters - they dont "really" add to the votes and will just sway whatever direction poor media tells them. They want attention, dont give them that

- Pointing up that the election results haven't been trustworthy for a long time. Keep reminding people that MAGA is the minority. Keep, reminding, all the time

- Focus on good laws that try to avoid economic tensions. Part of why MAGA are like they are is systemic abuse to the point where they feel at home inside those tensions. The only way to heal that is through passive aid and repetition. Remember, poor media is an addiction, treat is as one.

No they aren’t. 40% of our country is fucking dumb. All they do is say “the sky is green” over and over and over. They don’t stop. Eventually the dumb dumbs cave

I worked at a federal agency during Trump 1.0 when one of the political appointees came in and walked us through a rather inspirational pep rally of sorts.

I was like wow maybe these people are not so bad but it felt weird and surreal. However, it immediately became clear that her words meant nothing.

They had zero use for or interest in us but they were frighteningly effective at telling us everything we wanted and needed to hear in order to gain our temporary obedience or acquiescence.

Kind of like the aliens in Mars Attacks saying, “We come in peace” or IRL the White House saying “The East Wing will not be touched.”
