Makes sense. The public no longer blindly supports this kind of shit like they used to...so authoritarian tactics are now required to keep getting away with doing it.
I wonder why the public doesn’t support this policy. Wasn’t it successful last time we tried it? /s
It kinda was. It managed to move a lot of money from the poor people to the rich people. Thats why theyre doing it again.
Capitalist playbook 101. thats exactly what happened in germany back in 1910s and 20s.
They don't blindly support it anymore- now they knowingly support it.
Yet somehow half of the voting population supposedly voted for it.
That doesn't explain why the majority of MAGA voters are actually upset about this. What most people fail to account for, is that a ton of people who voted for Trump, were lied to about what he was planning on doing, and they were simply too gullible to look any deeper than the narrative they were fed.
Yes, they are stupid. But they aren't necessarily as evil as the ones that voted for Trump because they wanted stuff like this to happen. That's a much smaller demographic than people think.
I have a really tough time telling the difference because malicious people often pretend to just be stupid cultists.
Also as many have pointed out myself included, propaganda is a hell of a power multiplayer for support. Plenty of decent folks have been propagandized for sometimes decades or generations, this means that as a baseline their perception of reality is warped at best absolutely rat fucked at worst. As someone who broke out of that particular spiral due to my own historical literacy and my abject fucking hatred for most so called authorities, well it's a rather hard thing to free oneself from especially in say rural Idaho or Arizona for example.
The upside is that propaganda only really works when people don't think they are being propagandized to, this means that if the propagandists push back too much their control will snap. It's a lot like religious conversation the easiest way to convert someone is subtly, I should know I somehow made a fucked up synchronous thing from my kins folk traditions and Norse neo-patanism and converted myself to it.
That's because they control who gets to be part of the voting population
