Here's what does not make sense to me, my dad was in the heavy equipment operators union for 50 some years, his entire working life after he got out of the military and after he retired (with a union pension mind you) then he fucking backs all the Republican anti union assholes. Like what! Why would you support those who are actively trying to do away with worker protections? Well now he's passed on and that same union is providing spousal benefits for my mom. At least she's not supporting these assholes

I'll never understand why the left (all of it, dems leftist, liberals) have not done counter propaganda. Like we should have been actively deprogramming these people but the left is too busy fighting amongst themselves and waiting for the perfect candidates whose ideologies align with everyone's beliefs to come along and make everything work flawlessly.

You understand that propaganda costs money (and by extension, a person's time), right?

The right has all the money, the left has none. The right has the backing of big media empires, the left has none. A lot of us on the left are too busy just trying to survive in this capitalistic hellscape, and even we did make some "counter-propaganda" as you say, it certainly won't be picked up by the media and/or it won't be taken seriously by an already brainwashed audience.
