    like throwing around some ancient language and random symbols should make the people afraid or something

    In my experience, it still does for conservatives and many born before the mid seventies. None of them can tell you why or even what any of the terms or symbols mean, but they’ve been told all their lives those things are bad and have never stopped to wonder why.

      Luckily the brain washing era is almost over, it’s time for new blood and fresh ideas, nothing rooted in irrational fear of anything or anyone we don’t understand, if people are willing, and it seems that most are, things can hopefully change the better, we had enough of the same ancient people deciding which world my 12 year old should grow up in

        Oh you sweet, summer child. Corporate social media is a much more effective propaganda tool than any Cold War era stuff could ever hope to be.

          While I agree with you that’s way more aggressive, and flat out crazy, but Mamdani win is living proof that there’s still a glimpse of hope, just looks at the millions they spent to make sure that he never comes to power, and still failed, the change has to start somewhere, right?

        I with that were true but it’s worse than ever. Corporate and government propaganda pervades every aspect of people’s lives in the United States.
