To add to this, I think this video series is so huge people don’t want to believe it. Voting is such a core piece of the American psyche that telling them it is corrupt is like telling them they have brain cancer. But in this case it isn’t the family doctor making the diagnosis, it is the “discredited” crazy doctor who lives deep in the woods. The patient feels there is something not right with their head, but because family doc says all is well, that’s what they believe. And, when people like Hillary are out there saying we’ve “done it this way for 240 years with no problems” it soothes that psyche.

I think you may be onto something there, Siberianheat.

Last night, I asked my brother to come over and view the videos with me. (I wanted to see if he had the same reaction to them that I did, and if he thought that would be somewhat universal reaction with a lot of people)

We only got through one of them (even though they are only about 15 min long each) and it was clear that it disturbed him...but it was also clear he didn't want to watch any more.

And, I realized, I was having trouble watching, too. If you accept the video is not fraudulent, then you may only have two choices as alternatives: Either everyone is doing it and things go on as they always have, or...we are screwed and corrupt to the core.

Neither of those is very palatable.
