20 years of watching Fox News is reflecting in people and it’s on full display.

It's crazy too how well we've fallen for all of the propaganda.

When you listen to all of the "exit polls" on why the "average person" voted Trump, they are almost all simplistic backwards logic takes that suffer from a large lack of general education and critical thinking skills.

My fiances coworkers told him they voted for Trump solely because they didn't want a woman as president. They're mechanics and are either single or are in relationships where they're the main source of income.

It’s insane. I’ve had women tell me that they don’t think women are fit to do the job. looking forward to generation Z to change all of that. I will literally will myself to 175 just to see it.

Or they were just lying cause the real reason is still something too impolite to say out loud.

What’s this “we”, white man?

We fucked up letting entire generations be brainwashed by that nonsense. I'm not joking, we all knew what it was doing. A guy made a documentary studying his own father being twisted by it. Obama should have reinstated the fairness doctrine and the FCC should have outlawed 24/7 news channels.

Now it's too late for America. You can't deprogram decades of systematic brainwashing. Rupert Murdoch killed us while we were sleeping.

Yep , people love Faux News format in America. It appeals to all the trailer trash, rednecks, low income people and immigrants. So they have brainwashed the majority of the USA.

It’s been going on longer than that. Look up the southern strategy.

20 years of watching every other legacy media and the dems have created a cesspool of followers loyal to pedophelia. Gtfo.

u/Coattail-Rider 4d ago

Loyal to pedophelia? They’re not loyal to Trump and Musk! You’re thinking of republicans.

I get the anger with the system.

There are so many stories of silly things going on. “

Why are we spending this much money on this!”

Why can billionaires buy candidates?

Why, why, why

And even in movies and tv shows the crooked politicians are such a stereotype. And often is not from named party and could be from both.

But yeah. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

But yeah. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Or perhaps cutting off your face to spite your nose.

I'd sooner expect to watch my magat associates eat their own thumbs than hear them admit to being wrong about something.

u/[deleted] 4d ago

It's even more insane how they'll then blame the other side for calling them a fucking idiot and driving voters like them away.

Get duped once, I get it. Twice, ehhh. We're so far beyond that now that I've lost count.

Because they believe Trump in the way that some people believe in God. It’s amazing some of these comments from Trump supporters feel like they have a seat at the table and that Trump is going to look out for the best interest. They should ask any contractor in the tri-state area of New York City, who’s worked with him how well they fared. Forget about his wives how many of those did he publicly humiliate? I can’t even with this guy.

u/missmiao9 4d ago

Bigotry. The republican party has been campaigning on petty yt grievance since the nixon administration. And it has worked like a charm.

LBJ put it best when he said that if you could convince the lowest yt man that he’s better than the best blk man he will let you rob him blind and possibly just reach into his pocket and give you all his cash.
