    100% right here. Propaganda has taken MAGA so easily. Humans in the future will wonder why they were so easily hooked.

      We wonder the same about Germans in the 30’s, but I think I can better understand why they did. I have no idea why we did.

          Have a black man as president broke the national brain. It would be like a Uyghur chairman in China. See how fast the Han chin se would break… Further.

            Eh the US had cancer long before Obama. Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich, W (or Chaney if you like) were all slow walking things to where the US is now.

          It’s narcissism. Enough of the population became so self absorbed and lacking in empathy that they could be rallied by an enabler. Same case in Germany. Obviously 70 million Americans don’t have NPD, but he has a way of amplifying the narcissism in the common person by convincing them it’s righteous, as Hitler did.

        When the death certificate on American empire is written, the cause of death will read: “Opulence, ignorance, corruption”, or simply “capitalism”.

      While we all have and know so much information in our modern age, the average peasant during the rebound age of the 21st century knew less in total then you can find on a single digiread today.

        We are starved for true knowledge while drowning in information.

        College = expensive, advertising = free.
