I can't believe the media or tRump or whoever has already moved the shiny object, but I just saw a poll that said 50% of Americans believe immigration is the top issue of 2019. Not healthcare, which we just voted our new congress on. Not government corruption, which seems to get worse each day. Here we are 2019, 50% see immigration as our top issue, because tRump and the MSM pound us with it 24/7. Americans are so stupid to be led around by the next story they get bombarded with. They can't remember what happened 2 days ago. This country is hopelessly manipulated.

(1,588 posts)It's the other sheeple I worry about and how easily they can be manipulated. Only a year ago, only 27 percent thought immigration was an important issue, but after a year of being pounded by tRump and hearing the news shoving it down their throat, and the scary caravan, it has risen to the most important issue facing our country. That is brainwashing. 95% of our country wouldn't know an immigrant if they saw one and probably have no interaction with one ever. All they know is what they see on the TV. You watch, next year the deficit will be the most important thing because the Republicans and M$M will bombard us with how we must cut social programs to get it under control. The media is Republican, yes, even MSNBC...

(4,305 posts)immigration because of the bullshit on the border and family separation. Both of these would fall under the same heading. Unfortunately, polls never give a follow up question on the reasoning behind your answer.
