Just add this to the long list of issues that should have everyone up in arms. If this was a Dem issue, that’s all we would be hearing about. Disgusting.

They know we have media fatigue. They know most people want to live their lives in peace and only way to do that is to tune out. They know only people paying attention are ones interested in politics and their fans.

So they threaten the activists like us, going to big blue cities to scare us into silence.

I can't wait for the next protest and I have to go alone as my girlfriend can't come due to operation.

We have been listening to this crap every day for over 10 years, and nothing is done about it. I am not saying that any thing CAN be done about it, but all the hysterical claims that "he won't survive this one!" have worn every one out.

We should be in the streets night and day shutting this motherfucker down. But no one seems to notice any of the crazy shit happening. No one seems to care.

Once everyone is starving, living under a complete fascist dictatorship and wondering what the fuck happened, then we’ll see some outrage. But it’ll likely be too late.

Most everyone just went to work and about their normal lives in Germany until the bombs started dropping.

It’s non-stop, profit driven, rage bait propaganda.

Journalism in that arena is dead.

... it's just not being reported by corrupt corporate media. And then there's outrage exhaustion. There's a new outrage every 20 minutes or so, making it whack-a-mole on steroids.

It's all about winning. If delaying a newly elected Congress member to join in helps the dear leader, then it's sound strategy.
