    Obvious propaganda is obvious.

    This is a distraction ploy, this is what his job is. Look elsewhere to see what his cabinet and the GOP are trying to get you to look away from.

    Nobody is immune to propaganda, but we can become aware of it.

      Obvious propaganda is like a Nigerian prince email. It’s only for the people who want to fall for it. I was just talking to racist grandma who would be happy with the idea that Iran bombs California.

        It’s great for distracting from the dismantling of everything here at home. People have a lot to say about Iran, and little to nothing about how over a million americans just lost their healthcare and are being left for dead with no other options, while also banning an unprecedented amount of books and other actions to further gut and restructure public education to be even more of a processing machine for jobs that still require meat to be done. Also, all of our food kills you now and AI tech bros just purchased our last chance at a future.
