I hear you. How to reach those that have "checked out" is the question.
Over 90 million Americans didn't bother to vote. My guess is many of them cocoon within a media ecosystem that soothes and isn't threatening or informative.
You’re assuming that they were paying attention. They weren’t. There is a large swath of Americans who don’t read newspapers or magazines, or watch TV news. They just don’t care.
I know people like that. The thing is, they think they don’t care, and they might say they don’t. Even some might not, but we are what we consume and Facebook, instagram, TikTok and others feed us misinformation and rage bait posts. All that has an effect, and we’re seeing it right now.
America is not a country, It's a business. Money trumps integrity and peoples lives and livelihoods.
Your oppression is their profession
(Yes, I know America is a continent)
THIS IS NOT NORMAL! People are so spoiled with democracy and take it for granted. And then they feel they have no power. YOUR VOTE is your power. That will be the reason we fall.
Trump is the best at distraction techniques. Invent something for people to be upset about and fill column inches, so that other dealings can sneak by with little attention or scrutiny.
100% agree. A felon, a criminal, a failed business man, an insurrectionist, was elected … twice. This would have been impossible 15 years ago. The world faces the most powerful imperialist country in the world and we’re scratching our heads as to what happened
It's the overwhelm, don't you think? The fact of it knocks people over, like a concussion.
I realize the water started heating up over eight years ago, but now it is at a roiling boil, and many of the frogs appear helpless to do anything about it.😢
It’s all but dead and in the grave right now. money 💰 has won out. Listen up, the Post Office will be gone by the end of this year. He who controls the mail.
Nobody or no news paper has the balls to write it due to fear of retribution by his enablers or political like minds... they don't have the BALLS to publish it
The oligarchs have control of the news media and the narrative. None of them are willing to deal in truth and actual facts, but have plenty of alternative facts. I’ve turned them off, no need to waste my time.

Associated Press, Reuters, UPI are all better alternatives.
