(531 posts)Also interesting is his repetition of the 'fake news' meme. And remember when the 'fake news' got so bad? In the months prior to the election when their was a spate of it online, pasted all over facebook. And you know what it smells like? Russian propagandizing. Anytime you read a book about Russia and interviews with the populace it becomes clear that they stay very confused about what is to be believed in the news and what is not. It seems to me that Trump may be taking advice from Putin on how to disengage the public; simply break their trust in the media to where we don't react any longer because we gave authentic emotion to fake news stories. It reminds me so much of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, what they are trying to do with and to the media.

Can this be done in America, who didn't endure the horrors of feudal lords and black knights and communist dictators and horrible famine...will America lie down and give up to the sort of 'divine right of kings' philosophy that Putin and Trump both have.
Civil rights movement was effective because things were so bad people literallly had nothing to lose by laying their bodies down to be brutalized by the state. I wonder if this is how bad it will get under Trump.
