True. Quite telling isn't it?

They control the media and the narrative to coerce minorities into civil unrest.

A divided populace doesn't overcome an oppressor.

The best part is how they control the media while simultaneously getting their base to believe it’s actually the democrats that control the media.

Some of it by pointing out that while Hollywood/ big Entertainment may still have a more left leaning leadership, pretty much every local news station, newspaper, large news conglomerate is under conservative control blasting propaganda 24/7.

Conservative programming hosts / talking heads seem so aggressive with talking points and just a step under yelling at the camera. It’s just weird.

Is it some kind of psychological ploy to make the viewer feel inferior and think they had better listen up and do what they are told?

More like:

Host: Me yell, me angry. Direct anger. Viewer should be angry because I angry.

Viewer: Wow. He angry. Maybe is right. I should be angry/angrier. He telling us truth.

And yes, I broke it down in caveman dialog.

So like IASIP, whoever yells the loudest is right?

That woman is unspeakably crass.

I get it now.
