I think that’s certainly part of it. Imo, it’s a few things more also, not that you said it wasn’t anything else too:

Included in what you said, voter suppression. People being bombarded into apathy, has really kicked up a notch. Its identifying who’s susceptible and spamming them like mad with things the data you have on them says will work specifically.

There’s a real core of people in every country thats incredibly easy to wind up with emotive narratives that have enough truthyness to override what might otherwise be sound critical judgment skills.

America’s real problem is that the direct line to those people and their data is owned by a very small group of very wealthy people. On top of that, you have interference from a country that seems to some how be even better than America at foreign election interference and they’re very pro trump.

That’s before you get to the Democrats who, even if they were or weren’t any good, have to sell their soul to the highest bidder just to come close to Republican election spending. The side who spends the most is always the side who wins and a democrat will only ever be given enough money to win if they compromise to an extent that they’re, right or wrong, not different enough for a lot of Americans.

My country’s greatest export is class subjugation. America’s is the manufacture of consent. America was amazing at it even before social media etc. which would be a dictators dream. Now, I’m not saying the people with all the power are as bad as bad as stalin or anything like that. But, with something like that at your disposal, you wouldn’t have to be.

TLDR: America is the ever evolving blueprint to how consent will be manufactured around the world.

You seem like someone who would ask “why should I vote for better oppression?” without a hint of irony.

Still, it’s good to see that you’ll be alright, either way. That’s good to know, at least. I’m glad you won’t be effected by any of this.

As what often happens when people who aren’t white and male try to join these sorts of country clubs, they have to be even more extreme in order to prove they’re “one of the good ones.”

Edit: spelling

I 100% misunderstood you. Apologies, my mistake.

I’m glad to hear that trump has said that he’ll stop arming Israel and will end israels illegal occupation of gaza.

Well, i mean, he must have or else the above would just be some of the lowest sophistry you might ever have the misfortune of reading.

A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.

They’re not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.

I have nothing to hide. I also have nothing I want to show people either

Exactly, they couldn’t possibly be anything like kings.

You see, the small group of ultra wealthy people in America who control the government and make the laws, due to their hereditary power and vast holdings, aren’t from the Aristocrstic region of Europe or the Oligarchy region of Western Russia.

So, its a totally different thing. Although, I was a little confused when I first heard about Bush II or that something the Kennedy dynasty could exist. Luckily, I saw a play all about it in the Rockefeller Palace in new York, not far from Trump’s.

In the history of politics

They do realise that there were political ads during the suffragette movement, right?
