39. It wasn't that easy

Thu Sep 4, 2025, 09:51 PM

The attack on Pearl Harbor is what really united Americans. Prior to that, they were not so eager to join in the fight.

In this situation, the threat is within the borders. The electorate has been dumbed down and the media is mostly controlled by the oligarchs who enable Trump. Widespread journalism is almost gone.

A significant portion of the electorate is oblivious to what is going on. They're not going to see smoldering sinking ships from a sneak attack to wake them up. They're going to wake up one day when it is probably too late wondering "what happened to my rights & my ability to vote, etc?" The propaganda isn't coming from Nazi Germany - it is coming from their own leaders and media. America might lose its democracy without a single shot fired until it is too late.
