I'll argue that if your main political source of information is only that of the main stream corporate media, you are basically politically ignorant. Democrat or Republican. If you don't question the information coming at you 24/7 using alternative sources that promote and provide more facts, then you're blindly excepting the propaganda being thrown at you. And all their political satire shows are highly collaborate and responsible for this ignorance also. They play a major role in this using the various public relation firms manufactured propaganda to advance this agenda.
This leads to the second meme in which is often also accompanied by large scale party division on social media. Each side using useless false narratives and half truths they've come to believe. Today, even when either of these sides are presented with facts they each refuse to except, or even contemplate the information might have merit. They instantly repeat the rhetoric they've been conditioned to.
Even many of the memes that cycle through social media are created with an agenda at hand one must question. Especially those with glorified politicians, acting and sports stars, founding fathers, etc. These are often just another source of deceptive propaganda with mis/disinformation.
What or how will our future generations look back on us as through now after 5 decades we've become so mentally inept and failed within this most important political issue challenging our society. As we reenter a century ago of it having happened before, we've become.
Let that sink in for a moment as we watch each of these sides accuse the other of it. And what is it the majority of them use a type of social structure as an enemy, but is also what benefits the ruling class who's oppressing us?
Most humans are morons that are led. This is exactly what the "elite" believe and they justify what they do by this. This is how psychos think. The rest are there to entertain and serve them. If people are dumb enough to be led then they should be led by those smarter to actually lead them. This is human nature I guess. I have given up all hope for humans.
{This is exactly what the "elite" believe and they justify what they do by this.}
Most humans tend to follow. This is what they {the elite} know! And they have managed to use it against us quite well. They pay public relation firms well to manufacturer the conditioning propaganda their media sells to us. What we seem to be waiting for is a 2 class society for all those in the middle to realize this. Seemingly it's going to take a major economic disaster creating only a poor class and the ruling class for this majority to wake up.
@William_Mary ...and that's when law and enforcement becomes completely authoritarian.
Of course. The media is the voice of the media owners. It totally tells what the owners allow to be told. Their interest is political influence to their own advantage. Would one seriously ever expect otherwise?
Yet when you provide opposing information you're negatively considered a conspiracy theorist, a troll, or some other rhetoric conditioned response.
@William_Mary The people are similar to sheep.
