“The president single-handedly wiped out Americans’ retirement savings overnight and subjected businesses to intense whiplash with his increasingly erratic and chaotic policies that continue to drive consumer and business uncertainty.”

    You gotta remember this was DECADES of conditioning. These people have been primed for this from birth. For this moment in time, when they could gleefully collapse anything positive remaining about being American.

      Don’t make excuses for idiocy. Many of us grew up in those same places with the same ideas you’re talking about constantly thrown at us and we could see this for what it was long before now. Those people don’t see it because they don’t want to and that’s not anyone’s fault but theirs.

        Sure, but there is also the true history of coordinated effort. A lot of people had a lot to gain by making sure a particular generation got brainwashed, and the rest of us are feeling the effects - if you think you’re immune to propaganda, then it’s already too late.

          Lots and lots of brainwashing happening in other generations, too. At this point the “boomers” are not the biggest problem.

                Yeah, so in your opinion, humans get what we deserve? I guess I can’t argue with that.

                  I’m just agreeing that the majority of problems are caused by people that are within that 95% group.

                  I don’t think that most humans get what they deserve, though.
