3. You're so right concerning demonstrations. Greg Palast, journalist with the Guardian,

as one of many journalists, has made the same comments repeatedly, that there has been a conspicious effort to pretend all the people demonstration are the "opposition." Deception has been huge from the first.

If you've been unaware of how long that kind of perception management has been going on, and I'm pretty sure you aren't unaware, a great definition will leap up in any resource which discusses the career of U.S. American Edward Bernays. He conned the entire country into supporting Eisenhower's overthrow of President Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala in 1954, kicking off horrendous civil war, which wiped out over a quarter of a million Guatemalan poor, almost all over them indigenous Mayan people, in barbaric, sadistic, monstrous ways.

All it took was telling the US public the absolute opposite of the truth throughout. It never stopped.

I agree with your conclusion. Having such a criminal as Trump's biggest fan is an insult to the whole country.
