What you are experiencing now is Gleichschaltung. If your knowledge of German history comes from an American school, look it up. (Noumenon, I'm sure you know what it means).
Once you understand Gleichschaltung, it makes current events in the US much easier to understand.
Like, how could a coordinated violent attack on Washington DC on January 20, 2017, arranged in public using open media, result in all charges against the insurrectionists being dismissed in open court, in a District controlled absolutely (legislate in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER) by a Republican Congress?
This is so confusing to people on our side that they actually choose not to think about it.
That's because the existence of a "Republican Party" has them believing that overturning the color revolution of 2009-2017 using legal, peaceful means is possible.
