The world could spare itself so much verbiage if it just looked at the style, temperament, or zeitgeist, instead of policy details.
Since the 1920s Americans have become passive consumers of advertising B.S.
Once habitual complacency takes over one's life, it is just as easy to tolerate lies from the Empire of Lies, that is, the Deep State and the corporate media.
Unless there is a general mood of self-pride, why would people become angry about being constantly lied to? But complacency has taken the place of pride. Like Charlie Brown, they will naively come running up for one more attempt to kick the football.
The fellow in the cartoon above is a 'normal' American. If he would get up and walk away from the media -- in disgust -- he would be considered a 'kook', crank, complainer, hothead, or conspiracy theorist.
