You know how in beheading say, a chicken. the chicken can survive for a long time without a head? Even though it clearly has no head, no future and is the walking dead? This is The United States of America. The walking dead. We are only going through the motions. What was, is dead. We now have a king and for all intents and purposes, a completely pacified population. Greatest coup in history masterminded brilliantly by Putin. I mean, it wasn’t really brilliant though, was it? It was telegraphed and painfully obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size. Still though, here we all are. Fucked.

Unfortunately, that only accounts for maybe a quarter of the total population of the US.
Yet, according to a recent study from the Department of Education, roughly half of U.S. adults, aged 16 to 74 years old — 54% or 130 million people — lack literacy proficiency.
This means they effectively read below a sixth grade reading level. They literally cannot string complex ideas together and understand how those ideas interact.
Which is why the simple messages used by the nazis sticks. They use emotion and that resonates with our monumental pile of dumbasses.
Unfortunately, it’s what’s going on with a good many of “the left” too. Zero mastery of passions, zero ability to slow* down, think through impotent rage enough to temper emotion and harness what’s left for any action, other than hurling Internet insults, worrying about temporary loss aversion now, rather than permanent, more severe loss, for inability to harness well-thought, effectual action.
What’s crazy to me is that everyone in the US knows, KNOWS that the rich-elite pay less taxes. No one hides it… It’s just accepted with no penalty.
Thats so fucked up.

It’s not just because those people are dumb, it’s because they’ve been weaponised and brainwashed by Fox News. America will not be able to heal until Fox News and the other right wing channels that are permitted to broadcast their outright lies are shut down.

It will be difficult, but not impossible. Just like there was a tipping point into the madness, there can be a tipping point out of the madness. The more pressing issue is time.
The Conservative Propaganda Machine.
In case anyone is still unsure of this, let me be clear. Old United States is gone. New United States is here and it will usher in an age of significantly decreased quality of life for the vast majority of Americans.
Too bad we were too stupid to maintain a functional democracy.
And all those 2nd Amendment fans cheer the death of democracy
Next day of nationwide protests is April 19th. 5 million showed up last Saturday. Let’s make the next one larger
Once sane people are back in power, part of the cleanup will have to include the removal of all Trump appointees and any other obviously corrupt judges such as Thomas from the Supreme Court.
