Targeted, systematic attacks on education, and a robust propaganda networks ran by billionaires.
Absolutely. But also something that is not mentioned enough is American anti-intellectualism. Its a culture where its been completely normalized to have opinions on things based on nothing but a feeling or a youtube video, and then regard those views as equal to analysis that come from experts that have studied their whole lives on the matter.
Not everyone gets to be well educated but it takes a special kind of arrogance to be uninformed and proud.
yes, this plus phones. and it’s not just the right. leftists have become detached from reality too. they live in a insulated bubble of anime and very elementary critical thinking.
This is present on both sides. So many on the left apparently think that burning Tesla’s owned by random people who bought them way before Elon revealed himself to be a Nazi cunt is going to do something other than drive undecided people to the MAGAts that it blows my mind. Looks like a lot of the left agrees with Elon about empathy being weakness because they have none here. Not understanding how regular/ undecided people feel about having their car burnt up and thinking they are going to do anything but get pissed and join the other side is about as unempathetic as it gets. Musk would be proud of them. I just hope it is a vocal minority doing it and agreeing with it and that they are caught and arrested before they can damage the anti MAGA cause too much.

People are downvoting, but Russia isn’t having a huge effect on our education system. White christian nationalists and billionaires are. The call is coming from inside the house, people.
That doesn’t mean the orange bad isn’t a puppet of the Russian state.

There is zero evidence for this, if not you can show me.
On the contrary, the wildly irresponsable and aggressive move of unilaterally retreating from the missile treaties, followed by putting them in Romania doesn’t sound very Russia friendly to me.
And he (officialy) stopped aiding the Ukros for 2 minutes. They still are using Musk’s satelites too.
So what’s he waiting for?
Imperialism, eternal war and Russophobia is a bipartisan characteristic.
The US is never going to friendly against anything threatening their hegemonic position.
The plebs however are so blinded by hate for the other side of their ruling party they fall for anything that fits their narrative.
Even this laughable conspiracy level garbage.
That doesn’t mean the orange bad but he isn’t a puppet of the Russian state.

Agreed, it probably didn’t have an effect on the education system.
I am from Europe so i wouldn’t want to make an assumption on that part.
But the hybrid information war part with Russia is just also correct. At least in my opinion which has formed from security agencies like the CIA from different countries. Many of these operations were revealed, it is not secret.
