IT IS THE GUNS

15. Guns + Campaign donations, Super PACs, Revolving Door, and media propaganda.

Majority of Americans want some real gun reform but cannot have it because of the list above. You can change this from guns to climate change and have the same response. You could also substitute immigration, education, taxes, environment, or any other issue with big special interests behind it in place of "guns" and see that the will of the people does not count.

When will we get smart and all focus on the root problems causing most of our problems? I see only two main root problems. Campaign finance and media propaganda. These two are also tied together as the media are the recipients of the campaign money. The big donors are also the big advertisers and they use their leverage to shape the messages we receive.

The oligarchs control our media and government. It would take an almost unified front of Americans to force the changes needed to take away the oligarch's control over us. This is why they encourage political support to be like your favorite sports team. You see your player commit a penalty (do something bad), but you overlook the infraction or even defend it because they are your team (own the Libs).
