    This isn’t the fault of a corrupt politician … or a corrupt political party … or a corrupt opposition political party

    It’s the American people who just blinded accept all this, vote for it, don’t question it and do as little as possible about it all and just live with it and hope that it all just goes away on its own.

      The American people didn’t blindly vote for this. Fox News (among others) has been brainwashing them for decades. Fox is the number one watched source of news. Republicans have also destroyed education and regulations to allow for people to be brainwashed.

      It’s not as simple as laziness.

          Not necessarily. If you were born into a household that watches Fox… Guess what you believe. There’s a reason the South so powerfully believes in that garbage. Not to mention Fox is on in the lobbies of sooo many business lobbies. It is very difficult to escape a cult.

          As much as I loathe the right wing, the people it has engulfed might not have been that way under a different upbringing. Nature vs. nurture.

        I sympathize with all that … because we are suffering with the same here in Canada to a lesser degree … but I’m in a northern area away from the cities where we have historically always voted for the left or center and seldom the right wing parties.

        We are keeping our heads above water but I can feel the undertow of right wing politics all the time. No matter what happens, I’ll always be left (the NDP party) even if it means we lose, I’ll never give it to the politics of hate, fear or anxiety just because some dumb politician or television told me so.
