We've had similar pandemics nearly every election year.. this time they actually had to use it.

Prior it was just to show the incumbent as capable and keeping everyone safe.

People need to understand the media has the ability to create a mass hysteria out of anything. And one of the reasons this is so dangerous is once they establish a narrative, politicians and bureaucrats seem to be required to take the hysteria seriously. Even if they themselves don’t believe it, nobody is able to really function in society once they reject the mainstream corporate media narrative. Even Trump, who stands up to it more than most, still has to play within the confines of whatever narrative has been set. This is very dangerous. They did it on Russian Collusion, they did it on Charlottesville, they did it on China Virus, they did it on Hydroxychloroquine, they did it on George Floyd, they did on Hunter Biden’s Laptop, and now they are doing it on the Election Fraud. And each time they are more and more brazen. Trump is ahead of us on calling it the Suppression Media. It’s moved on from just bias to a total shutdown on any counter argument or alternative view.

, and all of them are totally made up out of really nothing. Also people seem to have become very easier to be manipulated. I really don't know know why because I am so familiar with the "conspriacy theory', which is almost always factual for too long, and I've forgotten the mentatlity of people who look so hysteric with everything. I also don't do SNS much at all, so that might explain.

I can tell you why they have become so easily manipulated. To be a leftist one must be a hypocrite first and a narcissist second. They need to completely ignore their own BS and be able to say with confidence that they still know what is best for you.

Now give them the culmination of mankind's knowledge in the palm of their hands, spoon feed popular opinions, and ridicule or ignore whatever the corporate media doesn't like. The vast majority of useful idiots, or NPCs, have never read The Rules for Radicals let alone how it has been subconsciously implemented and programmed into said individuals by the very programming they consume.

I can get specific but it is self evident, IMO.

And it sometimes just created out of a back and forth between these media organizations. ["New York Times is reporting that Washington Post has released an article condemning action taken by Trump in secrecy one insider has claimed"...................then back and forth, back and forth, stir the pot, stir the pot, aaaand its nothing..as usual. Next item.] Its the true definition of TDS. True thing to say to a TDS sufferer: "You know how I know you have TDS? Because you hate racism but blame Trump. You hate covid but blame Trump. You hate [insert anything here] but blame Trump. You never offer a solution except more Hate for Trump."

Rush Limbaugh talked about this years ago. He said the media could decide, say, concrete was in a supply crisis, and start their propaganda cycle. In just a few days, you could run a poll and find the bulk of citizens would say yes, indeed, the biggest worry they have is the supply of concrete.

It could be anything. A coordinated propaganda campaign really does work!
