@gjohnsit is conservatives actually winning, with one caveat: the conservatives must have the letter (D) next to their names. The liberals are, in this sense, cheap dates. This sort of winning displeases the conservatives, who are always pushing for more.

Liberals are MUCH better winners and MUCH better losers than conservatives.
It's funny how conservatives call liberals "snowflakes" when conservatives are the kids who will "take their ball and go home" at the drop of a hat. Conservatives are such snowflakes that they are the "victims" even when they win.

But what's sad is not so much that dying people are angry and refuse to believe they are dying of Covid-19. Haunted beliefs like these have become common in recent years — like the pussy-hat brigade and their belief that V. Putin rigged the the US election against them. These delusions are born in the social extremes and they are profoundly disturbing to both family and onlookers, who inhabit an evidence-based reality.

What is sad and shocking is the apparent physical damage to the brains of Americans that has occurred in the seven years since Federal prohibitions against brainwashing the US population, was revoked.

President Obama facilitated this revocation of the prohibitions against domestic mind control in 2013. This allowed the Intelligence Community and the Media monopolies to target Americans with broadcasts of false narratives, unfounded fears of foreign aggressions, and biased propaganda about false events — all based on strategic untruths. The minds of Americans were manipulated and distracted, without the People's consent, largely to serve the agenda of the Neocon operatives, who are embedded in the highest levels of the Federal government.

That happened.

Over the past century, these globally-fixated political operatives have kept the US on a constant war footing. Americans have been pushed into invading countries and fighting wars for 222 out of 239 years since the Constitution was signed. These never-ending wars — and the sacrificed lives of the People who are brainwashed into fighting them... and paying for them — do have an ultimate destination. Beyond war profiteering, that is. The Neocons believe that the world-wide interventions and sabotage of smaller independent nations and the ongoing economic crimes against competitive nations will eventually weaken them into submission, thus establishing the global supremacy of the American Empire. The US Elite — backed by a superior military force and willing to use weapons of mass destruction against resisters — will become the Supreme Rulers over all people, all nations, and all resources on earth.

That manifesto exists.

For want of a better explanation, seven years of concentrated brainwashing — demonizing world leaders the US wants to invade, rehabilitating former terrorists as allies, comic book plots disguised as Intel, slap-stick narratives of false flag poisonings, and other nonsense coming from authorities has disabled the critical reasoning capabilities of the general population. The neurological processes in their brains are misfiring. The entire world has quietly observed our domestic gaslighting and the unhinged lies we tell ourselves. The mind control of the American people is discussed and refuted at geopolitical levels. This once-unthinkable and prohibited domestic psyop has left Americans both mal-informed and cynical. Rather that herding the skeptical stragglers toward the conformist center, these foolish antics of the corrupt government have activated self-aware Americans to maintain the standards of intellectual honesty. The far ends of the US political spectrum are inflamed with disgust for the nation's corrupted democracy. Pools of violence and insanity erupt now and then — justifying the pressing need for militarized police throughout the US.

It's what it is.
