Of course millions of Americans know. It's in the news, a little. It's on social media.

Don't discount the power of media bubbles. I know my parents are completely ignorant. One gets 24/7 fox news on the tv, the other does nothing but scroll facebook, aol/msn/yahoo shitfeeds, and what all the friends (boomers with silver spoons, every one) talk about.

I mentioned some small things about ice deporting citizens, legal residents, and illegal aliens without due process as a routine thing, and I was looked at as if I was talking about ufo sightings.
