The Dumbing Down Is Complete

[Funtatlaguy]

As an old white male who grew up in the very conservative, very religious South, I saw this coming.
I saw how the uber wealthy realized that they must use religion to get the masses on their side.
But how?
How do you make greed sound good and diversity and care for the poor and weak sound bad?
Well, they created the concept of the “prosperity gospel” that preached that money and the love of it is good thing that is “ordained” by God.
Hell with The Ten Commandments and Jesus preaching about the money changers.
Greed, they must make the masses believe, is good.
And they did that with corporate and social media takeovers constantly peddling lies.
And a dumbed down populace, by and large, bought it.
Those of us who didn’t were condemned as woke, Communists, Socialists. Atheists, and “the other”.
Compromise and helping others became considered weak.
Uniformity is now in.
And by that, you must be white straight conservative Christian Republican to be truly valued in America.
Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, non theists, etc. are second class citizens (at best) and public policy should reflect that.

All that was needed was a charismatic charlatan tv show host to lead the way. They found an awesomely moronic useful idiot in Trump. The corporate media then did his cheerleading and created “alternative facts” when the messy truth got in the way.
Facts no longer matter or even exist.
America you are done.
You let them do this.
It is heartbreaking.
