The “experts” seem to only be expert propagandists working to empower the left in their war for communism.

the usual inane candidate endorsements from celebrities and politicos.

Yep. "Endorsement" is for idiots.

"they are used by politicians to impress and persuade the public"

And the weak minded, easily led are easily persuaded.

BTW, isn't that an example of the fallacy of logic known as appeal to authority (not that logic has any effect on the willingly bamboozled)?

What's really scary is that millions of Americans are weak minded, easily led, and easily persuaded. There was a time when Americans were the opposite of this.

Can anyone imagine today's wokies walking directly into machine-gun fire on the beaches of Normandy? or placing the Flag atop Mount Suribachi?

Yes VDH is right, but most everyone with decent sense knows that medical or legal advice is crappy about half the time.

Actually this is a good thing.

Now all we need is for people to put journalists and politicians in the category of doctors, lawyers, plumbers, contractors, etc.

They are no good until proven or at least until you figure out if they are competent.

People are way too gullible. No excuse nowadays... too much good information is available.

BUT you still have to have an ounce of sense and something like an education.

Education = being able to tell truth from deception, illusion, falsehood, and BS of all kinds.

May be obtained lots of different ways.
