    The american population almost entirely takes its opinions from the two political parties. And by extension, so do “mainstream voices” that have any intent of cultivating a brand in America.

    Both sides of the political spectrum in the US literally just parrot whatever the party line is. They didn’t give a fuck about the kids in cages at the border once Biden was in power, but they screamed about it while Trump was there.

    If Biden were still in power, the population would be playing down Palestine, just as it was doing before Kamala lost. The narrative has only run away from the democrats slightly because some in the population see it as something to beat Trump over the head with, the leadership doesn’t want that but they can’t fully control it.

    Leftist growth and propaganda power in America is stronger when the right is in power.

        There’s also a lot of old liberals who have never really learned from experience. They just don’t seem to know any better.

        I’ve never seen an old liberal that lives badly though. They’re all quite comfortable. The combination of political experience and struggle to survive is what rips people out of it.

          Old liberals also have seen real progress from a purely social level, with an increase in technological complexity. They just don’t seem to understand that all the economic benefits they enjoy are created at the expense of the younger generations of workers who will now never get to enjoy the luxury of retiring.

          As well they don’t seem to understand that it wasn’t caused by their central party’s political movement, but by progressive activists forcing their hand.
