You know that.
I know that.
Conservatives know that.
Libertarians know that.
Even liberals know that!
But to the elderly demographic that watch cable news and listen to talk radio, all criticism of authority is VERBOTEN! So we're on the slide past "Police State" heading to totalitarian Hell. And if you object, you are a "Wackobird".
It was a great country while it lasted.
Exactly.
The elderly demographic lack the cognitive ability and intellectual honesty to assimilate facts and analysis (aka the truth) that disturb their world view of Amerika as it really exists today. It’s too hard to change neuronal pathways. They can’t take the cognitive dissonance in their sunset years. That being said, some of them are awake or could wake up and take a parting shot at the tyrants before they exit.
The young and dumb and welfare classes are simply truly ignorant or willfully ignorant. They are easily distracted and live for the bread & circuses.
The masterminds have reduced these people to rats in a Skinner box. The brainwashing has been masterful and scientifically executed.
BTW, I too can’t stand watching cable news any more. I think Fox hit a new low when Megan Kelly essentially called for forced vaccinations.
