Honestly? I FULLY blame the American media on this.
The amount of, the tsunami of propaganda, the brainwashing that has been ongoing for the past 12 years in American media is the stuff Hollywood scriptwriters drool about. In the past 125 years, Hollywood's idea machine has up-fronted policy and advancement for about 20-30 years. We are now at a point in which Hollywood is being left behind.
The loss of informational value since the internet came about is there for everyone to see. CNN is shit (ratings are there to prove it). MSNBC has lost Middle America so much money that folks actually SHORT the stocks they prop up. AND when money becomes part of the equation you KNOW lies and deceit are involved because everyone talks up a big game until your cock is up on the chopping block, at which time we ALL change our talk to whatever personally benefits us most.
One thing I tell all Millennials who think Hillary and Barack actually walk on water: "What a waste of fucking white skin. Two thirds of the human beings on this earth WISH they had the same skin color you have."
And I usually leave it at that because I KNOW I just left an atomic brain bomb that will haunt them for their adolescent lives.
