I wonder why. Maybe it has something to do with Republicans in Congress overtly supporting Russia or covertly supporting China? “Ukraine is a non-NATO failed state. We would pull out our support.” “The review board restricting Chinese investments is governmental overreach.”

They’ve already succumbed to the disinformation and are unknowingly supporting the agenda.

"Unknowingly" -- maybe for a few of the idiots in the back, but not the party leadership. I mean, they have international conferences right out in the open (let alone more secretive cabals) where they collude to advance their fascist agenda worldwide. Don't tell me you're still surprised by now that even their railing against the "(((globalist))) new world order" was yet more projection, LOL.

While I agree those are major issues, the other big reason is that we have a lot of countries doing a lot of PsyOps on our nation. That’s what happens when you’re the “world power” and people want to bring you down. The Chinese outnumber us 2.5 to 1 and the Russians and North Koreans are happy to help. As are the Iranians, half of South America and a number of middle eastern countries. It’s sort of inevitable. The problem is that when we started making and deploying this technology we put zero safe guards in place to protect the average American from this.

How did your comment get downvoted on a two month old post? Weird… Only I should get the notification.
