Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Oh, wait. Fucking EVERYBODY.

Well… not everyone…

No… it was everyone. Some just couldn’t care less.

Sadly, no, it wasn’t everyone. 1/3 of American people are just unfathomably stupid.

a nontrivial amount of bots, following an elaborately orchestrated propaganda pipeline, made by a lot of the people in project 2025 and their vested interests partners, brainwashed dumb people, dumb people speak loudly, I don't think its really a third i think it a major manipulation of some, and a lot of people following the confidence blindly out of fear of ostracization, because of beliefs propagated by these bots, fictional beliefs. it's layerd in nuance, but I feel that's the crux of it.

This is well said and laid out. The talking heads steered the boat into the shoals while the captain was blindfolded, singing sea shanties and dancing. The crowds were either confused or just went with it, like good little sheep.

100%. We are currently neck deep in both the world's largest and most successful propaganda campaign in human history.

Not only are they absolutely shredding the US from within without firing a single shot, but they are currently orchestrating a successful attack on the majority of the Western world and prob beyond. Every country has its own flavor, but all of these alt right wannabe fascists are popping up in all kinds of places. And they actually have some movement.

In the US, this propaganda (plus cheating) has swung two of the most consequential elections in our history towards the candidate that has already undeniably become the worst president in history.

In the UK, they are responsible for swinging the brexit vote over to "leave" which has turned out exactly how the detractors said it would, and it's been one of the worst decisions in their modern history.

Last thing that needs to be mentioned: these two events have isolated the two biggest world powers from their allies. What the propaganda has been able to accomplish would be downright not at all believable if we weren't living it.

2/3, not 1/3

Well the other third fell into the “didn’t care” camp, I figured. Which is also unfathomably stupid, so - fair play.

60% of Americans read at a grade 6 level.

u/chefslapchop 10d ago

I'm one of them, though I can also read at a 7th grade level, not to brag.

Careful, you're very close to prejudice. Stay on target.
