POLL: "Nearly six-in-ten Americans, 59%, express confidence in Donald Trump to make good decisions about economic policy." 😳

Some will look at the results of the poll below and argue it proves just how stupid US voters are. They’ll say we are getting exactly what we deserve.

But I take a different view. I say this is the inevitable and completely intentional result of mass brainwashing.

For more than a century, starting in the aftermath of the Civil War, our capitalist rulers have used the media they own, the politicians they’ve bought, and the education system they control to teach Americans exactly how to think and what to believe.

It’s no accident we’ve ended up where we are. And it’s not the fault of the people, at least not entirely. It is by design — a cruel, corrupt, evil, yet brilliantly successful design.
