That’s sort of what I’m alluding to. It seems to me that these people are in essentially the reality version of a casino with a painted sky. It looks and feels like outside, it’s just completely controlled by the people that own the casino and crafted entirely to keep the illusion up. They watch Fox, their friends might read Washington Post, their friend’s friends watch whatever else. More and more media is being bought by Billionaires that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

It feels like you’re getting differing opinions because this guy reads this which is SLIGHTLY more moderate than that but overall it’s so far more right from what things were like even 10 years ago that it doesn’t really matter.

And people just don’t notice.

I think that’s potentially reading a lot from not much context. How do you know this is because of gas prices? Some of the people really are just completely mislead and believe that the “other side” is trying to convince them that these “untrue things” (that are true) are true.

It’s like how people say that Hillary Clinton is the devil and eats babies. You don’t believe that because to you, it’s obviously untrue. But to some of these people, the thought of “their side” being child rapists is probably as unbelievable as the baby eating thing is to you. And the more time goes on, the more irrefutable the pedophilia and human rights abuses are to more and more people.

I’m not saying that’s happening here, but I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt without enough context.

But maybe I’m just also not quite as exposed to republicans as others are and I’m talking out of my ass haha
