(17,097 posts)Hearts and minds of the masses. Probably more minds than hearts actually. There are plenty of generally good people who have been duped and lured into a fantasyland where trump is some kind of savior who will be the impetus for tearing down an evil secret state; or restoring the old America; or magically is the savior the country needs. Who have fallen into believing both sides are bad, vaccines have microchips; there are secret plots everywhere.
(Hearts are a problem too, but you cant reprogram or enlighten most racists.)
Grapple with The Shock Doctrine, macroeconomics, fascist playbooks, and movies like Number 24 to help expand the imagination for what humanity is capable of, thats my suggestion. Like the song Night Vision by Suzanne Vega:
By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear
When the darkness takes you
With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased
[Chorus]
Find the line
Find the shape through the grain
Find the outline
And things will tell you their name
