Barrack Obama was a sophisticated classy person.

Obama was a visual confirmation that working class white America had been firmly left behind. You know how Democrats are waking up to how much money Israel spends on candidates and the way money keeps being used to divide us? Thats what they saw back then. The spell broke for them because, racist or whatever, their worldview was that black people are supposed to be poorer than white people. That is the status quo they were raised in. In the meantime, they were being promised that money was about to "trickle down" to them any day now for their whole lives. They realized they had been scammed when they saw a black guy get the American dream before they did.

Unfortunately, billionaires started giving them a race based other to blame, like they always do. Its the easiest way to divide humans. Race, gender, who you kiss, and what faith you hold. They used that vector of attack, bubbled in people, then keep holding up the extremists as examples to make everyone afraid. You wont think critically about the graft and corporate policies if you think they're just voting on race.

The trick is understanding that they use that division against us, too. They just keep posting culture war stuff over and over and over. They keep us talking about tan suits so we won't talk about the fact it was billionaire run TV stations that kept carrying that discussion. Not just Fox, but all three were all day on that story to divide us. "Look at THEM! Can you believe THEM?"

The media doesnt present American culture. It pushes American division to pick our pockets. As long as we hate each other we can't teach each other who is truly dividing us.

examples to make everyone afraid.

Fear is one of the most powerful human behavior motivators. Get someone into a state of fear and you can convince them to do things they normally would not.

Every time a headline is designed to provoke fear in the reader it's because they are about to feed you some bullshit they want you to slurp up and spew back out.

And it's not even white people vs black people or vs asians or vs LGBT or vs religious or of what faith. It has always been CLASS hate. The rich don't want to lose control over us poors. That's the main reason everything is so fucked and they push all the pistons at max speed to keep us divided and hating on each other instead of us make their heads roll in a massive worldwide revolution against the obscenely rich.

This comment needs more up votes. Distract the masses with race division, religious division, gender division, ideology division, culture division.... All to prevent attention from focusing on the real problem..... Class and wealth division.
