It's amazing the power of propaganda even when people are aware that it is propaganda.

Almost everyone has read 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World yet it is obvious that as these predictions come true people can't seem to see through the establishment propaganda and the way they are being manipulated by tech corporations and main stream media.

For the most part propaganda is in the form of omission. Framing also plays a part. Still it is not hard to propogandize people to believe what they want to believe. In this case that there are good guys and bad guys and that it can be reduced to something as simple as party affiliation or sympathy.

The party of slavery hasn't changed but the nature of slavery has. As trade has expanded and global markets become all encompassing the Democrats have embraced the exportation of pollution and slave labor. Trade policies and domestic policy not only enslaved Chinese workers but effectively enslaved the deplorables. All with the support of big tech, the media, academia, the professional class, banksters, coastal elites and globalists. It's simply a matter of following the money. Starting with the fortunes of the Clinton, Biden and Romney families. All done, as with antebellum slavery, the approval of the Neo Cons instead of Northern bankers and the cult of social justice, and deranged socialists instead of Southern churches.

Hillary Clinton in this analogy is Stephen Douglas and Trump Lincoln. The minorities analogous to poor southerners and the labor class slaves. Just like when Lincoln unexpectedly defeated Douglas the Washington establishment, especially the press, engaged in what could only be called a soft coup. The question is if this cold civil war will become a shooting war.

The Dems are trying their best to elect a different president using legally allowed and common methods of voting. The Reps are known to engage in gerrymandering more than the Dems, and are the ones trying to sow division in refusing to accept election results and continuously accusing the system as rigged.

Trump wants to hold onto power as long as he can, as he knows he will be indicted for unlawful acts against America once he is out of power. That is why he keeps floating the idea of a third term or "president for life" or having his children success him. If he had nothing to hide, he would release his tax returns.
