This should not even be close. America is insane.
At least 47% of us are. That debate was an absolute curb-stomping. How anyone could watch it and come to a different conclusion is unbelievable.
They actually believe the “post-birth” abortion crap and think they’re voting against infanticide. It’s unhinged.
Anecdote, his people didn't even watch the debate. If they did watch it, they watched some edited version the next day that only had his answers, basically an edited speech. Then they watched some talking go over all the worst bits of what Harris said and did. Then they read about how the moderators were unfair to Trump, and how Harris must have been given the questions ahead of time. I know multiple people that did exactly this, it's all quite insufferable. Based on the way they talk, it wouldn't surprise me if some people watched it live and just muted the TV when Harris was talking, because they can't stand hearing her.
What we are, specifically, is partially brainwashed. And I mean that quite literally. A large number of people have been watching "Fox News," a fake "news" entertainment channel specifically designed to brainwash its viewers for literally their entire lives.
And Hate Radio was what really got the brainwashing rolling.
All the big news channels are propaganda and entertainment machines in their own way. A majority of voting Americans are hooked into all of that trash TV
Real brain washing involve depriving the victims from any news source beside what the brainwasher approves. It also involves some sort of torture.
people watching fox news willingly are not brain washed.
they might be ignorant, naive, uneducated, simpleton but not brain washed.
If you check the definition of brainwashing, you are only using the more strict definition. They would technically be considered brainwashed.
Always has been.
If we did a straight popular vote it would be no contest. Thank the electoral college for all the fuckery…
