Most people don't pay attention to the things that make news. That's why lying is a key skill in politics. People believe whatever gets repeated the most often and loudest in their vicinity. It need not square with any actual facts as most people, as a result of their inattention, are blissfully ignorant of the facts. It's the most potent ally that Trump has going into 2024. Ignorance is the most neglected problem we face as a whole.

You can tell Americans that. Some of them may even pretend to agree with you.

too many of the reprobates rely on the Marshall Plan as their "the world owes us" view.
