43. Complicit is the correct word.

24/7 Wall to Wall "News" coverage of every little thing Trump do, his FACE everywhere,
not just the Cable News, but mags and newspapers.

The permanent WARS, Gutting of the Middle/Working Classes, dumbing down of our Education System (and Media)... have poured fuel on the fire.
I would like to blame it ALL this on the Republicans, but the "Centrist" wing of the Democratic Party has assisted this also.

"All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those to whom it is directed. Thus its purely intellectual level will have to be that of the lowest mental common denominator among the public it is desired to reach. "
