    Yeah, precisely, a lot of successfully propigandized people believed American Exceptionalism grants a 100% nullification to internal Fascist corruption…

    But, uh, more clever or curious or historically interested people have long known that… thats not true at all, lol.

    Which, of course, is why the Republicans have been, for at least 40 years, had as a consistent plank of their policy and rhetoric be… public education should be defunded and destroyed.

    Turns out, being uneducated actually grants a +100% bonus critical weakness to all kinds of propoganda.
