2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: My friend the non-voter and why so many stayed home. [View all]Kablooie
(18,771 posts)13. The right has a huge, raucous, screaming propaganda machine.
The left has some magazine articles news papers and Web sites that people sometimes look at.
It's no wonder conservatism is sweeping the nation.
People are battered day after day with extremist messages so of course many people succumb and believe.
If you do nothing you still hear the propaganda but you have to actively search out the alternative views.
Until this is stopped or the Democrats develop an equally effective message machine I fear the public will remain under the spell of the Republican's lies and manipulations.
