Given a Population which uncritically consumes 'News and Events' like infants slurping Pablum, the propagandists job is too easy.

But... but if it wasn't easy the leftists couldn't do it.

??? How much "Competence" do you find among the Conservatives??

Good question. To me, the opposite of "leftists" is "rightists"; "Conservatives" doesn't seem to have as much relevance these days, since the right are the ones demanding a change from the status quo controlled and imposed now by the left. As the old right “Establishment” has been replaced by a power structure of leftist “Elites”.

As to competence, I will grant you that the leftists are very competent at using their control of the mass media to further their political agenda.

True. The left is the opposite of the right. Conservative is the opposite of Liberal, although those are both adjectives that have literal meanings outside of politics. Also technically the opposite of a progressive is a revolutionary or radical actually.

True. And I would argue that the reason why so many words have meanings in politics that are different from their dictionary meanings is because leftists use their control of mass media and academia to screw with our language to intentionally make it harder to discuss issues rationally and honestly.

Basically political correctness in a nutshell. I would definitely recommend "Speechless" by Michael Knowles. Also Pax Tube said that wokeness is language used to shut down debate on moral issues. The left is such an illogical, bad ideology that it can only exist in a state of confusion where there is little competition.

Also, Americans have a bad habit of saying "conservative" when we really should say "right-wing".

Deranged is right... if they stop their liberal Trump hate porn, their audience will no longer have a reason to watch.

Yes, I'm sure the media is torn, trying to choose the more evil of two evils.
