The leftists in the media did this to us by repeatedly lying to the American people. They are still doing so. People can only act on the information that they have, and they have been denied accurate information for decades.
“I do not blame the boomer or most Americans. It as been the insidious Progressives of both parties, but primarily in the MSM, the Universities, and the education establishment that are to blame.”
So true, but I think our religious leaders over the last 100 years have failed us as much as the secular education system and the press. But why? My guess is the general loss of faith in God and the values of Western Civilization.
