of all types flies under the banner of free speech when immersed with psyops and destructive intentions backed by enormous sums of money. It's a bad recipe and will likely eventually lead possibly to the downfall of the US democracy. It's as bad if not worse than an invasion force IMO!

34% of our Voters. See and deal with this group daily,and it is such a shame how Ignorant a segment of our Population has become. Did our Education fail us,or is it,their Meds need to be adjusted.

And the parallels between that and the U.S. today are truly sobering. I’m dreading the possibility of a Trumpian “Reichstag fire” moment.

You’re right about Goebbels, he would be beside himself with joy if he could experience today’s available tools AND America’s embarrassing gullibility.

Americans today, the larger part of the population, are not familiar with those days and the fear. History often repeats, and that is damn scary. I'm amazed today at the heavily coordinated and highly monetized brainwashing speech basically ripping the country apart.
