They have been “dumbed down”, aka “culturaly cleansed” aka, “re-educated”, by the media, public schools and Universities.
They think that when the Marxists name them “the masses” it’s the same as when someone calls them “citizens.” Citizens have rights and they have a Republic. The masses are piss poor, uneducated peasants with no rights who have no other hope than being owned by Marxists.
I concede your point. Hopefully we don’t just have the appearance of possessing rights now.
Onward.
