It has something to do with the air in Manhattan. My older sister, who moved to NYC from our upstate home some 50 years ago, actually sobs that I do not think like she does. She lectures me on politics and expresses real distress that I don’t believe what I hear on CNN, Jimmy Kimmel, and Colbert. Since downstate NY dictates where NY’s electoral votes go, I assure her that whomever I vote for doesn’t really matter. Still she persists in lamenting my lack of morals and my middle class attitudes.
If it is in the air here, I manage not to inhale. My brain resists the poison. But then it was trained under Soviet indoctrination. That’s a good school to keep a cool head and critical thinking skills. I think in general some people are more susceptible to propaganda than others. Sadly, the last four years, first COVID and later democratic agitprop on social justice, race and gender changes, have demonstrated that half of the country can be easily manipulated into submission. More than submission. They accept even the most awkward and implausible postulates with religious fervor. 6’social distance rule? White guilt? Gender identity? I believe we are witnessing fast demoralization and increase in stupidly. The goal is to resist.
