      Control the media, brain wash the sheep, train everyone to think anything they disagree with is fake.

      The irony is they think they’re all smart free thinkers. A MAGA fella I knew told me he was upset that people think all MAGA folks are dumb. He also said the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment into the Declaration of Independence because they knew how important it was.

          It’s easy. You just think of something you want to be true to prove your current point, then just say it like a fact. That’s really about the depth of it.

          American public school education is a literal joke, but that would be by design. And when you spend your entire life, being told that you’re the best and your country is the best. You tend to not care about the fine details because you are the best and you already know that. If I remember correctly, I maybe had one or two units on The operation and founding of the government. A majority of that section was literally just the battles and the dates that they happened on. Not the why they happened or the repercussions afterwards. No deeper explanation for the why only the when. Unless you self-educated you weren’t educated.

    Ahh, but don’t you see, Snopes is liberal propaganda and can’t be trusted. So then we can believe whatever we want. 🤔 🤔 🤔
