I was working out in a relatively empty gym in my small town recently. Fox News was on one of the TVs while I was running, and I came to a bit of a realization.

Many Americans have been forced into a state where any level of socialism is seen as a slippery slope.
Americans that watch Fox News, and there are members of my family that do so religiously, believe the propaganda. They immediately assume that if Bernie won the presidency that America would become the failed state of Venezuela or the authoritarian China in the span of 4 years.
It’s utterly laughable that any step towards the left is seen as a transgression and the immediate sign of ruin.

I just ask myself: What’s the absolute most a Bernie could accomplish in 4 years, radically, that the country would allow?
Perhaps it would mean healthcare reform, systemic change, albeit slightly, in the right direction. Maybe a few more social programs that align with leftist policies.

So? It’s not the end of the world, and certainly not the end of America.
But the propaganda blazes on Fox News for all to see.

Also, dont forget to buy the newscaster’s new book that they advertise at least 4 times within the hour.

Gotta love it man.
I’m not a very active political individual, but I remain informed as much as I can. I’m almost leaning ways right now out of spite for the system. I’m so damn exhausted with the bullshit.

And I can’t really see an end in sight so I laugh, mock it, and continue about my business
