Millions of republican voters have lost the battle against propaganda.

[shockey80]

For years i watched millions of republicans vote against their best economic interests. They ruined their own lives and now they blindly follow propaganda looking to blame everybody for their problems.

I watched millions of republican voters blindly follow the propaganda of WMD's. They attached their fellow americans who spoke out against invading Iraq.

Millions of republican voters now believe main stream news media is lying and far right news media is telling the truth. This is extremely dangerous.

Millions of republican voters are now blindly following the propaganda campaign of trump. Trump understood this. He said, I could shoot somebody and my voters would not care. He is right. Most trump voters know voting for trump is risky and dangerous. They stop thinking about that and blindly follow what they hope happens. Make america great again.

Millions of republican voters have given up an american value that is perhaps the greatest american value. Independent thinking. Never blindly follow. Educate yourself. Never ignore commonsense. I am 57 years old and i can honestly tell you i have never blindly followed. I have questioned everything my entire life. School, the workplace, even my time in the military.

Good luck everyone. Get out and vote. Speak out against trump and his voters. Your way of life is at risk.





For the first time in my life i fear for my country and the american people and this is why. When enough people in a nation come under the hold of propaganda, these same people risk losing everything, including their nation. We may be getting close to the level of enough.

1. Oops

Something must be wrong with my hearing aid, when he says "make America great again" I hear "make America white again."

2. They COMPLETELY lost their minds

When a black man was elected President. They really don't care about anything but getting back at minorities and liberals for this. They are driven by hate.

6. Hard to believe

After all trump has said it may be the birther issue that brings him down. I will take it . But he has said a lot worse. What took so long? It is time to destroy this lying,greedy, no good rotten human being.

11. what took so long is, mainstream media has been pimping for Trump, for ratings

it has been SICKENING

7. It is an unfortunate cycle, not new.

If you think about it, the idea was sold to people in the 1800's that it was Manifest Destiny to move west and claim land from the savages, who weren't even using it properly. in the 1900's we were taken to war by William Randolph Hearst against Spain. In the 50's we were looking under our beds for any Commie we could find and were told that the Soviets had 100 missiles to everyone we had, when in truth we had a huge advantage. In the 80's we were told that Carter was a goof and we should just follow Ronnie cause, Murica #1!!, In the 2000's we invaded a sovereign nation (with a dictator for a leader mind you) that had nothing to do with terrorists who attacked us.

While many people have never blindly followed, there have always been enough who did, or at least didn't really object, that we as a people have done many things we should regret.

Sorry to be pessimistic. I just don't think that this situation is unprecedented. I will say that the creation of a media solely for the purpose of espousing conservative ideology that is now considered mainstream, is new. Prior to the 1960's that kind of thing was mainly the purview of the fringe.

I agree,but this may be worse. A child can recognize trump is fraud, a liar, a con man. Millions of republicans cannot see this. If trump gets elected it could set off a world wide movement against the truth. Propaganda.

[Caliman73]

9. I can agree to that

Like I said, the new thing is that the fringe has slipped into the mainstream discourse.

10. I guess they wanted to belong to the club?

It was their team. They saw it as more than just the Republican Party. They were very loyal to their team and, in the end, they stood with their Party over truth and honesty. It was a battle for their souls. At this moment, it looks as if they lost the battle to partisan propaganda, such as FOX.
