"The media do not decide who's president!"

Uhh, yeah they kinda do. They spent two years sabotaging progressive primary candidates and spent this year manufacturing consent for Biden. They manipulate the thoughts people think about power, and they can install whomever they wish.

Conceptual constructs like government and finance exist only because we all agree to pretend they're real. They're only ever as real as the collective agrees they are. The powerful understand this, and pour vast fortunes into manipulating what the collective believes.

You can call shenanigans on the official election results all you want, but all you're doing is protesting a Game of Thrones power struggle over which you have no control. You can't fight the machine using the tools the machine has offered you. Elections aren't for the people.

What does that even mean? Fight for which faction of the US oligarchy should control the White House? Neither of the candidates got there legitimately, and neither are there to represent the interests of ordinary human beings.

It is not a coincidence that the most powerful government on earth has the very worst election integrity in the entire western world. The elections have nothing to do with you. They are not there for you. Stop looking at them as solutions to your problems.

They are. They're the unplugged video game controller you hand your little brother so he'll stop whining for a turn to play.

They are, yes. Just because Trump says it doesn't mean it's not true. If not for the mass-scale psychological domination of the plutocratic media, the people would have used their strength of numbers to force real changes a long time ago.
