Rich Logis, a former voter for former President Trump, appeared in a video message broadcast to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night to say that the COVID-19 pandemic showed him how Trump was “lying about pretty much everything.”
“I believed Trump,” he said. “When the pandemic hit, we needed leadership, but we were given almost nothing. It was a major betrayal to the country.”
Logis described himself as a “full-fledged member of MAGA” and encouraged fellow voters that there was still time to change their minds about whom to cast a ballot for in November.
What a stupid comment.
OP was illustrating the effect of total media control and propaganda, the local culture it generated with the loss of local resources, poisoned land, and jobs shipped overseas.
Yes, it’s sad that people were able to be brainwashed over generations with 100% captured media giving people a false culture built on lies and deceit.
It’s also sad that people who come to a revelation that they have been taken for a ride, they no only have to accept they were wrong for a large part of their life, responsible for voting to make it worse, and would likely lose their friends/family by rejecting the false narrative that’s been embraced locally.
Even if you hate these people for their situation, you’ll still have to deal with them as voters and members of the population. Hating/confronting them will only push them further right.
We really need to bring the country together, and remove the us VS them mentality the wealthy use to divide us.
You are coping out by literally writing off half your country, refusing to understand the problem, don’t want to address the root causes, and have no interest in resolving the issue.
Do you have any kind of plan aside from blaming the others for all the problems? Because that’s exactly how the wealthy maintain the status quo.
