Another example of how dumbed-down our approach to politics has become. Just because you dont think the government should force equality through affirmative action doesnt necessarily mean that you dont believe in equality or fairness. Just because you see a need to reduce the budget for some social safety net programs (out of necessity), doesnt mean that youre overly excited about it and that you dont care about the poor or helping those in need.
Im so fed up with politics in this country.
We need to raise some smarter Americans who can turn off the reality television programming, strive for higher learning and achievement, and see through all this garbage
The right wing machine taps into the most uneducated and easily misled individuals among us. They can spread anything, no matter how misleading or downright lies they are, the obedient sheep eat it and and parrot it without question.
"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."
"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. "
"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think. "
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. "
These quotes sum up the right wing machine and their puppets doesn't it?
These tactics are still in use to this day, and all the quotes are from the most notorious right winger of all time, Adolf Hitler.
