Thank you for that answer! I had previously considered polling regarding trust in media and trust in government as possible metrics, but had trouble reconciling how 16% of Americans could have trust in the government, but 32% had trust in media. 32% trust might suggest it's a partisan thing, but that 68% distrust is awfully close to Juan's 72% awake estimate.
So why is trust in government lower? Because it is possible to distrust the government without believing they are part of a giant global Satanic cabal, whereas anyone that trusts the media pretty much by definition cannot be aware of the cabal, because the media covers for them. I think that last 8-12% is going to be a very hard nut to crack because they're largely Democratic partisans at this point..
I blame Boomers and the generation before them , lol.
Government corruption and crooked politicians are not hard for anyone to believe , really. It actually seems almost like they’re complacent about it, from my experience.
With media, however , it’s as if they’re still stuck in Lois Lane and Clark Kent land.
My mom loves Trump, and will
Be voting
For him a third time. She’s the one who got me loving the man.. But she STILL has to watch the fake news. She says it’s “ to know what the other side is thinking .”
No, Mom.. the other side doesn’t believe it, they’re telling YOU what to think.
They understand partisan bias and hackery, but they don’t understand the depths of propaganda involved.
I am even still learning about it. When she’s in a very anxious or bad mood, I know she had at least an hour dose of George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning 🤢
May truth come to light… For all❤️
