    I’m not even American and even I have figured that a lot of that shit seems to be being push by the Republican party.

    Instead of “bread and circus” they are just giving you “aliens and Iran”.

      Gotta whip up the hate so we can justify Iraq War 3. Wouldn’t be surprised if we get a bunch of new Chinese Balloon Invasion and Mexican Border Crisis hysteria in the next year, as well, since we want to pick fights with both of them.

      Americans are the most propagandized people on earth. We have the tools to get them to believe just about anything, simply be saturating their eyeballs and ear holes with terror.

        Mexican Border Crisis hysteria in the next year

        No, no, no, don’t be silly!

        The migrant caravans aren’t scheduled to come until one month before the next midterm. We have at least two years before we hear about that one again.

        Trump has already been spitballing military intervention in Mexico “to fight the cartels”, like we don’t already provide Mexico with a ton of anti-insurgent trainers and totally-not-special-ops guys who totally do not do violence in-country.

        The absolute best part is…it’s USA. The moment your military gets actually slight spook, of the you know, short gasp variety…you know it because your military complex temporarily forgets limits of today’s technology and produces some sci-fi shit. And yet ya all are still able to be made to be scared of… looks into his book Mexico and…Iran…

      Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, it’s the same FUD tactics the wealthy have used for decades to distract from the real problems that should have been resolved decades ago.
