"Yeah I struggle to grasp on daily basis how your average American doesn’t understand that this guy is an aggressive liar. Practically everything the man says is bullshit yet here we are 8 years later still being duped."

Not sure where you have lived,

I have lived in 7 countries, and you're correct: the entire world is dumbing down. But I found nowhere as fast as in the United States. Also, it matters more because the US is (still) the richest country and the most powerful military power in the world.

That's because USA created social media systems first, ASCII before Unicode, etc. The rest of the world didn't get social media until after the USA. We Lost Control of educating social media computer users in September 1993, and it laid the foundation for Russia to win the Hybrid War online / on Reddit / Lemmy / Facebook / YouTube / Twitter / etc.

Americans will believe anything off a computer screen / Apple iPhone / Apple iPad / Lemmy system. Extreme problem we have with media ecology literacy. I teach it over on !MediaEcology@lemm.ee

Donald Trump's November 2012 plan to mind-fuck the entire world with the Kremlin / Putin / Russia and Cambridge Analytica using Reddit, Twitter, news comment sections of computer screens was a master-stroke (100 years leap ahead of Edward Bernays methods, adding in Surkov methods too), along with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter to win all "hearts and minds" in 2022, and their self-destruction of the USA (and probably the entire world) is likely unstoppable.

It has nothing to do with social media, and it predates it by decades, as demonstrated by this famous Genesis song.
