    They don’t know how bad it is because they get their news from megacorps who will NEVER tell them such facts.

    Blame the people who have control. Not the people struggling to make sense of mountians of capitalist propaganda on a middleschooler’s education.

      Eh.

      I went to public school. I even have a MAGAt parent.

      I didn’t end up MAGA stupid.

      Yeah, the odds are stacked against the average American, but that doesn’t give them a pass to be stupid enough to vote for fascism.

      A lot of them watch that corpo news because it reinforces what they already want to believe. Many of them are just fucking racists.

        You’re on Lemmy. We’re already pre-selected to be not complete and utter dumbasses.

        Reinforcement of belief is comfortable to all animals, let alone humans.

        Sure, a TON of MAGAts are hateful, especially after ten years to wake the fuck up, but to pretend conservatives and fascists aren’t exploiting basic animal insecurity is to absolutely and completely fail to understand how this shit grabs people.
