….for America returning to logic, justice and what it was meant to be. The disease has metastasized.
1.To understand, or even to predict, future events, there are two things to keep in mind:
“It was calculated that the total advertising expenditure in North America in 2021 amounted to about 296.4 billion U.S. dollars. However, the spending increased by 18.6 percent that year, after decreasing by 1.3 percent in the previous year due to the impact of the coronavirus.

If advertising didn’t work, businesses would not be spending $300 billion on it.
And, two,….if you don’t understand that political ‘advertising,’ i.e., indoctrination, is equally effective, you will never recognize how your views have been formed. I refer specifically to Democrat/Liberal/Progressive views, to Democrat voters.
3. Those of us on the Right are clearly less manipulable by media, pop culture, the schools, and, as one glace at the results of Democrat recent victories will attest, understood what happens when one makes the choices Leftists make.
Logic told us that, history told us, and experience told us. We ignored “those mean tweets” and judged policies.
4. If you grew up under Democrat regimes, you were exposed to Liberal ‘advertising’ far more than the “two minutes of hate” in Orwell’s 1984. You had it 24-7.
“Leftism is so pervasive, that if applied to any other way of looking at life, it would be widely recognized as a form of brainwashing! Image a person who attended only fundamental Christian schools from preschool through graduate school, who never saw a secular, let alone anti-Christian, film, and who only read religious books. Most would say that they had been ‘brainwashed.” Yet, we regularly find individuals who only attended secular liberal schools from preschool through college, watched or listened to only Left-of-center television, movies, music, and had essentially no exposure to religious or conservative ideas. Brainwashed?
Of course not! Liberals are open-minded!!! The irony here is that the denial itself shows how very effective the brainwashing has been.
Now, Christians or Jews who have rarely been exposed to secular ideas and values would readily acknowledge same. It is only those on the Left who fool themselves into believing that they have been exposed to all points of view.”
Dennis Prager
5. Universities have become to Liberalism what a Christian seminary is to Christianity. The difference is that Christian seminaries acknowledge their purpose, to produce committed Christians.
“The purpose of a university should be to make a son as unlike his father as possible.”
The University's Part in Political Life” (13 March 1909) in PWW (The Papers of Woodrow Wilson) 19:99.
“To the professors, of course, every urban problem was always displaced back to White privilege, income inequality, and racism.”
