It's a different world now because the establishment, as much as it desperately wants to, can no longer control the narrative. Because of social media, Americans are waking up and understanding how propagandized they have become.
I mean, think about this site. I LOVE being in here because I get to comment on articles, write my own posts, and argue with people on positions that mean something to me. If you'd have told me in 1990 how much time I'd spend daily on the internet and social media (which I didn't even know existed back then), I'd have said you're crazy.
Now, not so much, and it is changing the game. My daughter came over yesterday, and she said her in-laws, who are SERIOUS conservatives, but not the crazy religious type, actually like Bernie. Whoa. I mean these people were touting the tea party incumbents on our county's school board less than a month ago............and now they are going around saying they LIKE Bernie, don't like Rump and Cruz is too religious-crazy.
So there it is....
Reminder, everyone - the primaries HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET. We'll know how Bernie's REALLY going to do when that happens. Like the author of this HP article, I believe a LOT of people are in for a serious surprise. Because the only people who really LIKE Bernie are the American people, because he has our back, is honest and has a great track record. People like that.
We'll see, won't we?
