(4,452 posts)After 15 years in NJ I was shocked at the rightward stupid movement when I came back home. Most everyone was a right wing idiot that thought in bumper stickers. They had no clue about the beatings and deaths that gave them the life they enjoyed.
I spent three weeks teaching a young racing buddy how he had been programmed to accept a philosophy that was antithetical to what his reason and the facts told him to be true. It only took a month of those bumper sticker ideas to reverse all the information I gave him for that constant RW BS had instilled in him over 15 years I hadn't talked to him.
I remember an immigrant from Soviet Russia telling me how amazed they were we believed the bullshit we are fed daily by corporate media and think it even resembles the truth.
I guess my saving grace is that I do not consume corporate US news, it's not even "junk food news" it's downright toxic.
