“The problem is that a great number of people in America have been brainwashed “
Many of my friends were brainwashed in college back in the late 70’s (many are no longer friends). They were told they were smart and then sucked up every word. They are all sure how terrible our country and history is but have no idea what the solutions would be. It is left to their imagination. This is why they loose it when you challenge them with logic. They don’t know the answer and you are in essence telling them they are not smart.
Excellent post. I’m almost 73 and I saw it, too.
They certainly can’t be challenged by logic. Group think binds most of them together. Logic, the ability to think critically, and discernment, among other things, are foreign to them.
The only thing that might sway them a little bit is when they are negatively affected on a personal level.
