There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Generally speaking, people live in a state of fear, constant, nagging worry that something bad will happen to them. Something which they assume they will have no control over--cancer, nuclear war, financial Armageddon, etc., and this fear paralyzes them. Due to the fear and their own inability to conquer it, they look for an outward "savior", someone who will rescue them from their pit of misery and make things right.

We saw this recently during the COVID fiasco, with the result that the average person was easily manipulated into doing what any rationally thinking person would reject as harmful. We will see it again as soon as the next existential crisis (engineered, of course) emerges and the cries of those who cannot cope will become a thunderous roar, to be answered by yet another government message of "hope and safety".

The cost? Well, let's not be concerned about that right now. Our grandchildren will cover it.

The reality is that everyone has trouble. Everyone, and the answer to this trouble is to find ways to stand strong and firm regardless what happens--without expecting that someone else will magically appear to give you a lifetime of peace and happiness, not to mention a pocketful of money which is increasingly worthless.

It's the "Omniwar" as described bt David A. Hughes. Focusing on just a part of it misses the bigger picture, Technocracy , technological slavery, as described by Patrick Wood. How anyone at this point can actually believe the lying, murderous Trump just shows the total brainwashing of the people by the media, schools, pharma, etc. People can't handle having their world view challenged, to see the lies throughout history that have brought us to this point.
