3. All humans are susceptible to propaganda

Germans, Americans, Chinese, Britons -- we are all susceptible to propaganda.

There are two things that make this moment unique in American history:
- Billionaires have figured out how to use media they own to manipulate uneducated white people to get them to vote for billionaires' tax cuts
- For some reason, our real media is so deeply committed to bothsideism they have failed to communicate the truth. At least in 1976 the Times said it was a lie. I don't even know if this strong a story would be published today.
