Aren't You Dammed Tired Of Being Told What To Think
And when you don't agree, people turn angry and combative! What can you do?

America, regardless of your leanings, your appearance, or your politics, you should be tired of being told what to think and hearing it out of people who aren't trustworthy are intelligent to begin with.
You should be! Because, that's all that's being done now days. American's are being programmed and told what to think, what to believe, and what to ignore. Sometimes, they're being told to ignore facts and others, they're being told to believe conspiracies based on the enemys opinions. And it's nearly impossible to tell who the enemies are!
Hell, you can't even tell people not to be so sure they're being given the straight story, considering how much has gone wrong with the world. It's all about the scariest thing in the world, and less about freedom of thought, freedom of belief, and the freedom to think for ourselves. Yet, they don't want that.
The fire art of agreeing to disagree is gone! And, as long as there are those who keep using divisive rhetoric and stoke the flames of hate with false and misleading information, this continues to get worse. What we all should know, by now, is that if it comes out of Washington, it's likely a lie!
A great example of that is Democrats arguing that blowing up drug running boats is unamerican.
Democrats completely forgot the Fentanyl crisis that has plagued Americans for years, and American's against stopping cartels from running drugs into the country, because of heavy handed tactics, are championing a cause that is against the national security interests of the United States. So we remain torn, at eachother's throats, over an issue like stopping criminal cartels from bringing destruction to our own people.
And that's a simple example of how to keep us separated. By using incendiary language, and depending on emotions and ugliness to keep people from paying attention, the population of a country is never unified. Inciting division in a country isn't that hard.
To incite division in a group of people, all you have to do is create a problem that people become overly sensitive about. Give people a common rallying cry and they'll eat it with the ease you have getting a child to take candy. And the uglier something looks, the more you can get people behind rebelling against it, even if it's not what they're being told.
Have you noticed how nobody can find any footage of riots centering around Obama's years running deportations? One simple difference is the popularity of the two divergent presidents. The other, there weren't politicians militantly taking to the press releases to urge people to "rise up," or to, "fight," or to, "resist."
Voters are inherently mixed between dumb, smart, and indifferent people. Some are smart enough to know that illegal immigration, the act of coming into the country illegally, is a crime. Others are dumb enough to be drawn into mob mentalities, hearing the words rise up, fight, and resist as a call to arms. You don't see the indifferent ones. They're not paying attention.
Once the crowds have been incited, one side sits back and let's the cards on the table play out. Their political opponents aren't looking so good, because the public is lashing out against the policy or action of the week. And in the current era, all you have to say to a liberal is Donald Trump did it, and the reactions are comical.
But it's still a case of being told how to feel, what to do, and who to believe. And it's a message that resonates with some because it's the most powerful person in the state that's saying it, or someone close by and an authority within the same party you align with. Hands cover faces, heads shake in disbelief, but that's the formation of the blue cult. Tens of thousands taking to streets, risking their safety, so their cult leaders can look good and you can hurt a political party, protecting criminals, protecting illegal immigrants, and clashing with law enforcement.
What you're not being told is ever more prevalent than the things you are. Whether it's the truth about foreign actors with bad connections around the world, illegal immigrants in the United States that have heinously abused young women and children, people on the terror list making it into the homeland, or what's really going on with the Epstein list, you're being told what to think, how to feel, and controlled.
Isn't it time to stop!
It's time to stop. Stop believing everything you hear or are led by the news to believe. Start thinking for yourself and looking at facts, not accusations or opinions. Most of all, stop letting it rob you of the ability to agree to disagree!
A little word called peace comes from agreeing to disagree.
