In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.

    A large percentage of your population approves of what is happening, while not requiring the propaganda to reach or hold that conclusion.

    I agree with everything else here, but propaganda absolutely plays a role in the current fascist movement in the States. The Venn diagram of Trump supporters and people who watch Fox News is probably pretty close to a circle.

      To be clear, propaganda matters.

      I’m saying that there’s a segment of the fascist populace that is utterly aware of what is real, what is bullshit, and are quite content with the presence of said bullshit, as long as it maintains the current reality.
