Yes, those people in the former Communist countries knew that they were lied to. The problem here is that a lot of CNN and other MSM consumers have no idea they’re lied to. Tried to show a CNN watching friend a video with a different view. Didn’t want to see it. Mind you, I have other highly educated low-information voter friends. I stay away from political discussions. You can lead a horse to water, etc.

They want to believe it. It fits their ideology, so they easily believe its true. I know the same types.
