Trump raped 17 women, trump is a Russian spy, Trump won the election because of kompromat, trump will start ww3, trump is keeping kids in cages, trump is trying to steal the election by insurrection and on and on. After awhile most Americans just roll their eyes and see the smear campaigns for what they are. The same people that peddled that earlier political partisan bullshit are the same people that are trying to push for a maximalist view on what happened on the 6th, so no ty, i'll remain skeptical.

If I had a dollar for every pixel in that photo, I'd be broke.

Apparently, the intelligence agencies of our country were pissed off in 2020 because over the pandemic they found that ~30% of the population is immune to propaganda and will question anything they are told. They also couldn't figure out any repeatable way to distinguish these individuals from others, although trauma seemed to be disproportionate in the group. Hence the red herring media cycle about mass formation psychosis to try and discredit the trend.

A large proportion of the population actually are sheep in the sense that they don't ask questions. Maybe the only way a civilization can function is with a majority group like that - one that is unquestioning and go-along to get-along. Maybe fake news in inevitable from a species standpoint once governments happen.

The real part that pisses me off is why Republicans can't just get better at propaganda so that they can go toe to toe with these fake character assassination headlines. Republicans can't seem to make any insults that stick, even if they are true.

The megaphone is not as wide. Fox reaches a lot of people but when you take all of those other sources and put them together it dwarfs Fox. The fact that factions of Republicans are increasingly becoming anti-war/non interventionist is also problematic from a propaganda perspective because the globalism/corporatism force is IMO probably the single strongest driver of what happens in this world.

FOX and their supporters would again be the war mongering "patriot" megaphones, all swapping their FB avatars, if it was against anyone in the ME, and had to do with oil.
don't kid yourself their anti war is because it's involving RU, and how much they identify with his politics.

God this thread. What a fucking dumpster fire this place is.

Pretty sure that 30% you're talking about basically feeds on propaganda. It's literally all they consume in the media.

I would believe this if it was just confined to Russia. The loudest voices on the hill to topple Assad, to bomb out Libya weren't the typical republican hawks but it was Hillary Clinton and no one aside from a few people like Tulsi Gabbard dared speak out against it on the dem side.

op hates African Americans and women, hence this topic

Nope, most rational people wouldn’t. If trump passed gas the left would try to impeach and your illiterate ass would be calling for the impeachment. All of you fell for the medias lies over russia collusion and Hunter’s laptop. Just very uneducated and slow individuals…if only you had a brain.
