Is a difficult subject because on a personal level I've lost dear friends to insane propaganda, and I still haven't forgiven myself for not being able to save them from it - and I'll probably never forgive them for it either. They were supposed to be smart.
People think I'm smart but I fall for stuff too. In media, the existing weapons can be stronger than the defenses, and sometimes that's all there is to it. Modern media makes the greatest aspirations of MK Ultra look like child's play.
I'm still not convinced memes aren't a great filter, unless great filter theory is just another shitty meme.
To sum up, people did vote objectively incorrectly. The Democratic party however is not guilt free. The whole system is built on violence, and that grim old tree won't bear fruit unless you water it.
