    No, a lot of people just don’t pay any attention, unfortunately. If they get their news mainly through the grapevine or social media circles, they might very well have been taken by the con.

      That’s what they’ll say but I’m not buying it.

        I mean, you had history classes in HS, right? What percentage of the class engaged, paid attention and learned the material, vs what percentage just did whatever it took to pass the class, didn’t really give a fuck, and then promptly forgot everything once they passed it?

        We have to remember how our fellow Americans really are. Some pay attention, some just don’t. The one’s that don’t probably couldn’t even explain to you what fascism actually is, they’d probably say “I dunno, killing Jews?” or something.
