Remember how laughable it was when they first trotted it out as their excuse for losing the election? “We didn’t lose! No no no no. Russia hacked the election!” It was such an absurdity. And yet that is the power of the corporate media. As laughable as we thought it was, they still forced us to think about Russia, debate about Russian, talk about Russia, hear about Russian. I’ve tried to ignore it as much as possible but there’s only so much you can do when the corporations are pumping that into the culture 24/7 for a year and a half.
Think about what a huge scandal the #DNCLeaks actually revealed. The Democrats rig their primaries for the candidate of their choice. They give that candidate the debate questions in advance. What this means is the choice in elections, at least on the Democrat side, is an illusion. Huge reveal. And yet how much have we actually thought about and discussed that in the last year and a half, as compared to Russia?
It honestly feels like a form of mental abuse. We’re being forced to think about nonsense.
