The way I see it is that people living in a country led by a Putin, 9 times out of ten, know they are being led by a thug, but see little they can do about it. Here, thanks to decades of an education system that dumbs people down it's the opposite. 9 out of ten think they are living in the freest country ever to exist because they have a choice of being able to buy a Ford pick-up as opposed to the Toyota or Dodge. They can repeat whatever slogan they were told by lame-stream media is intelligent and clever, and we end up with imbeciles electing an imbecile who is also no more than a mere puppet. All the while the puppet-masters stay hidden behind the scenes. Decades back Americans took a real interest on where the country was headed and talk around an extended family get together/bar-b-Que consisted of serious discussions of just what was going on. Now I find even somewhat "awake" people more concerned about discussing where they want to go on vacation in order to scratch something off of their bucket list. And to bring up a serious issue gets one derided for being "negative". As though we should all be singing silly, happy songs and have a Prozac induced smile on our faces. It's easy to put all the blame on the so-called elite, for they are the driving force behind our country's destruction. But as older folks used to say long ago: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it".
