I share your outrage.

I realize now that freepers are very very different from average people.

We are natural News Hounds and we enjoy reading.

Most people are not like that, .most people probably do not even read a newspaper or watch a single news show in a week or maybe a month.

we are the ones who are unusual.

Spot on observation.

Meanwhile, 'Merica can be found mesmerized with Oprah/Dr. Phil/TMZ/Reality TV ad nauseum....

VOTE TRUMP.

Sometime you should consider visiting 4chan.org even though it’s chaotic and look at how young people communicate these days:

they used MEMES.

the political point is made in probably 10 seconds or less.

basically we are living in Idiocracy.

the attention spans of most people have shrunk considerably.

I love O’Keefe and I hope he continues but viewers cannot be held for very long these days. we see that on YouTube and we see that in the emergence of memes.

Yup. My SO's eyes glaze over if I have news or talk on radio or TV. Cares not a whit about politics. Doesn't have the time or energy to dive in, and feels she doesn't make any difference, anyway. I try to explain how serious this all is, and I get "I believe you, but..."

Our pubic school teachers have indoctrinated America well. FUPST!

Bingo. Their hedonistic ignorance is what will do in this nation. I've often said we might survive the Obammunist, but we won't survive the generation that put him in power.

Start loading the magazines.

I think your comment is spot on. Of my family and friends, I am the only one I know of that actually does any looking around on what’s being said and told to the masses. Most everybody relies on what they are spoon fed by the media. They might not trust them implicitly after talking with me, but neither do they search out information. We are the unusual ones.
