Yup - just like the focus group LJ posted. I nearly cried when I watched that. Our educational system is failing to teach critical thinking and our 'news' channels are brainwashing people with propaganda that supports their worldview - on both sides of the aisle.Burning Petard wrote:Back to the opening topic of this thread. Some of the 'main stream lying media' have been running stories about focus groups in the rust belt, where the group is made of Trump supporters who are not traditional Republicans. There is IMNSHO, a trend--the big lie tactic is working.
The groups nearly completely still support Trump. They believe his promises ARE being kept. He is 'fixing' the problem of bad immigrants. Jobs for ordinary people are more available and pay more now. The economy is much better than it was under Obama--look at how great the stock market is doing.
All this is based on no direct evidence whatsoever. For their personal situation, nothing is better, except their hopes. Local industry is not returning. Small business is not growing new customers. But they are convinced all good things are happening some where else, and it will be for them too soon. Any evidence to the contrary is just fake news.

SAD!
