4 years of Trump propaganda vs 20 years of Putin propaganda.

[kentuck]

We can see the damage that Trump did to America in 4 years with his big lies and propaganda. Imagine if he had been in power for 20 years, as has Vladimir Putin. Those are the Russian citizens we are now trying to communicate with.

There was a story on Lawrence's show last night where he talked to a young Russian man that had escaped Ukraine with his wife and family and had called his father in Russia to tell him what happened. His father did not believe him. He believed what Putin was telling him instead.

We should never under-estimate the power of propaganda. Anything and everything that does not go along with the Party line is "fake news". Even after the Russian son told his father that Ukraine was being bombed and people were running for their lives, he still did not believe him.

1. Thank God we are not Russia...For many reasons....

More and more Americans are becoming tech savvy. America crossed that bridge in 1945 when the Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have not gone backwards.

The damage of the last 4 years was right out in the open. Putin's damage has been more subtle in many ways over a longer period of time. People are not blind, but many are deaf. We are neither blind or deaf. Plus, we are capable of rational and independent thought, much of the time.
