We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

One of the first things that the people of Poland did when they broke away from Russian control to join the European Union was to stop and control the national pro-Russian news media. The countries leaders knew that they had to take bold action of a dictator to protect the new fledging democracy. It was hard enough to initiate a new direction for Poland unless they stopped the fake news and division spread by the national news media. They also had to work to eliminate voter suppression, reorgan…

We can tell ourselves and we have been told by our "betters" that it is economics, election interference, Putin, that has resulted in this dystopian event, this democalypse.

But it was hate, fear, ignorance, spitefulness, apathy. 90 million people who voted in 2020 did not vote in 2024, and a good portion of them were Muslims, Black and Hispanic males.

. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016.

Who are these 3 million voters? Well …

5th Avenue, advertising, TV commercials. Gold, PhRMA, Insurance rely on psy ops

There is a science to it. A lot of it was develpped in WW 1 --used testing extensively.

Some of it is verbotten. At one time subliminal images were used extensively. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S…

I've studied this in marketing Daniel, yet we still don't have to bite, provided that we have critical thinking capacity.

It is like hypnosis. When I was in HS i was among the 20 or so that volunteered to be hypnotized, only he, the hypnotist, couldn't. I tried later in my 50's and still no go. I can't be hypnotized, in the same vein I see right through any attempt to propagandize me be it commercial or political.

SOME people are convinced. In advertising, 5% is deemed a success.

In thie election, the split was less than 2%.

William Farrar's avatar

More than 2% Daniel, if you consider Fox, OANN, NewsMax, the Blaze, Rogan and Bannon et al to be 24/7 advertising.

Advertising is propaganda,commercial not political, but propaganda just the same.. It is all psy ops, advertising, propaganda whatever it's name it is a psychological operation, with one purpose to influence thinking and thus behavior.

In swing states 2% would flip the outcome.

In business if a product is wrongfully disparaged and the compeitor loses business, trade libel, intentional interference, may be actionable.

During the election, lies were protectd as "political" speech.

Post Dominion v Fox, Fox, OANN, NewsMax, the Blaze, Rogan and Bannon et al may have civil exposure.
