    Unfortunately society is full of “politically slow” people who either don’t pay attention, are subject to extra propanagda, or just slow to cotton on… And they sort of screw things up for everyone.

    I mean, there are still Trump supporters out there.

      It’s because a long time ago those in power realized they can literally create more of those politically slow people on purpose, by starving them of education and feeding them nonstop propaganda about never looking behind the curtain.

      Now they have a dumb, submissive electorate that can’t stop electing them even if they wanted to. We’re trapped, and we’ll have to gnaw our own leg off to get out.
