I disagree with some of this author's contentions, namely...

Sometimes waking up does require assistance from others as we're seeing from various interpersonal relationships and even as the FNM, presumably under at least some WH influence, starts to dribble out the truth. We are watching more people awaken and it IS due to the concerted efforts of others.

The contention that there's no leader that can reawaken the herd, if taken literally, may have merit, but that doesn't mean that a good leader - like Trump - can't influence a great number of people. People like Donald Trump have sparked many people back to life and caused them to reassess their beliefs and truly think about reality and truth. It's like a HS teacher or college professor with a sort of buoyant personality who inspires his/her students and lights a fire within them to seek to learn more and make a difference. We are connected to other humans. We do influence and inspire our fellow humans. We can effect change. Not everyone, but those who are deep-down thinking there's something not right with the world.

I think this author boils down the sheep into one monochromatic lump of humanity with no individual life experience, no individual life and societal circumstances. He does it with the population at large as well as with political parties. Does he not see that, while we may choose "a party" that doesn't mean we agree with everything the general consensus within the party believes? Republicans are a shining example of that with our revulsion towards the RINOs. Debates among party members which happen as a matter of course are another example. The Walkaway movement, started by a self-professed (former) rabid liberal show loads of people from the left being awakened with the right influence.

And then, of course, we have the obligatory claim that anyone who questions him is an idiot. ("... I am cursed for being too critical and ‘negative.’ Questions and comments such as these are a sure sign of an unconscious mind, a non-thinking person, and a proud member of the unawakened herd of sheep. ..."). Yeah - no. This is just more bleating of bravado from self-proclaimed (sic) 'geniuses' who seem to think they have the proverbial "answer to life".

I've said many times that the sheep don't think anymore, but also that they often have low self-esteem, have been brainwashed to be fearful and only trust the FNM. Infiltrating the FNM to start waking them up IS other people assisting the sheep with their awakening. Getting the truth to them IS influencing them. It's not easy, true, but I certainly don't think eighty percent of humanity is beyond saving as this myopic opinion piece claims. This is just mho, of course, and you wouldn't be deemed as having "an unconscious mind" or being "a non-thinking person" if your opinion differs.
