Don't let fear drive your choices
How do normally rational people fall prey to the ideology of a tiny percentage of people? I wonder if there is a coincidence that the tiny percentage is being fueled and funded by con men who have the most to loose. These con men prey upon the predominantly angry, naive, paranoid frightened mass that America has become. They use fear and prejudice to cloud the thinking of normally rational Americans.
If you hear fact manipulations or outright lies enough times, you actually start to believe them. This is why infomercials are so prevalent they work. I do think we, as Americans, need to think critically, independently. Throw off the shackles of fear and paranoia that the few pay millions of dollars to brainwash us with. Vote for what is best for America, not what is best for the minority.
On Tuesday, do not allow yourself to be manipulated emotionally, spiritually or by unfocused and unfounded fears. Search out information for yourself; make an educated choice. Sadly, due to the involvement of corporations in a political system that is supposed to be of the people, for the people, it comes down to voting for the least damaging choice and hoping that one day we will get viable candidates.
