And it wasn’t until I found myself down-voting completely innocuous posts on the internet that I finally started questioning my political beliefs. Why were a bunch of supposed Republicans going on about a murdered DNC staffer? Why was Hillary running to the right of Trump on war and trade agreements? Why was every single member of the establishment that dragged us into the Iraq war, bailed out Wall Street, and supported an unlimited trade deficit with China, in favor of Hillary Clinton, and hated Donald Trump?
Most importantly, why did simply stating these facts make me so upset that I felt the need to spend hours of my day getting angry and suppressing their speech?
I firmly believe Trump has the ability to hold a mirror to liberals, to expose their various contradictions. Think Trump is trying to destroy the constitution? Democrats are the ones talking about getting rid of the electoral college. Think Trump is a tyrant and abusing power? Democrats are the ones voting to give him the largest military budgets of all time. Think Trump is a racist? Democrats are fielding a fake African American (Kamala Harris is Jamaican-Indian raised in Canada) and a fake Native American. Think Trump is a threat to the free press? Two billionaires, Jeff Bezos and Michael Bloomberg, control esteemed liberal media institutions that are routinely prevented from doing their jobs as journalists.
I can go on and on. It took a long time for me to come around. But in the end it was the consistent messaging and support for the President I found on The_Donald that broke through my Mockingbird Media inspired haze. Thank you pedes, for refusing to be silenced.
Why does the media lie so much?
Because it works.
Think about how much you know about American history and ask yourself if it came from books or movies.
There are still a vast number of people who believe the Russia hoax. Despite the unlimited funding, resources, and the best investigative technologies the government has at its disposal to investigate it. It came up completely empty. Yet the idiot left still parrot Russia Russia Russia.
Yes, propaganda works.
It's essential to read older history books. Even the older novels can have a lot of researched history. If you don't like non-fiction, read the novels of James A Michener. He had a staff that researched the facts in his novels... really they were facts wrapped in stories.
The media lying so much can be a double edged sword. It was the constant negativity directed towards President Trump that first got me curious about him. It was the lying media that turned me into a Trump supporter.
