Russiagate, Memes and Pokemon Ads: Can Our “Democracy” be This Easily Subverted?

(After Americans wake up to the fact that Trump is no different than his predecessors, they will lurch back to another counterfeit social justice warrior who will perpetuate the status quo.)

In other words. We are stuck in a cycle in which at least around 52% of the voting population continues to participate in a broken system. Both establishment parties sharing around 26% each. In which these politicians together with the media successfully use perception management to keep them trapped in an illusion. An illusion of our politics and worldwide happenings. As the media drowns out any real sense of change and options with control of over 90% of ownership. Leaving actual facts and liable options hard to find unless one actual puts an effort into finding them via independent alternatives.

Such as the green party which was also a victim of their perception management in the 2016 election cycle. At an all time height of Independent voters, and republicans, wanting real change. I mention republican voters for the fact that as someone who was strongly advocating Sanders on social media, I encountered many republican voters who were voicing and looking for information on how to switch parties to vote for him. People who had been republicans for decades who no longer felt represented by that party. Do you need time for that to sink in? Republicans wanting to vote for a progressive candidate. Hard to believe many would say. And I'm talking about republicans well into mid life and beyond. Over the years, stirring off support for the green party didn't take much work. But in 2016 it became a major offensive full of false narratives and deceit. Amazing what one can create out of a few photographs with a false narrative. It even put all the other "nutty" accusations against Jill Stein on the back burner.
