Salon Magazine: This Is ‘Democracy’s Last Thanksgiving’ If Trump Wins The 2024 Election, Americans Have A Difficult Time ‘Understanding Complex Information’
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 11/25/2023 | alicia powe

Salon Magazine’s senior politics writer Chauncey Devega commemorated Thanksgiving with a fearmongering article devoted to hating Donald Trump and debasing Americans who intend to vote for the former president in 2024.

“Trump and his allies and acolytes are publicly planning to make him America’s first de facto dictator, which will mean the end of the country’s democracy,” Devega warns in an article titled ‘Democracy’s last Thanksgiving‘ published Thursday.

Trump is trouncing Biden in every rigged poll amid skyrocketing inflation, oil and gasoline prices shooting through the roof, manufacturing plants exploding on a regular basis, the Justice Department’s unprecedented prosecution of political speech as Americans continue to suffer from the fallout from the experimental Covid mandates, the government’s continuous allocation of billions of American tax dollars to Ukraine — to name a few of the Biden regime’s catastrophic blunders that pose an actual existential threat to the republic.

Biden’s incoherence, incompetence and incontinence have ushered in new dismal standards for the commander-in-chief.

Trump is resoundingly fairing better than Biden in polls and “ahead of Biden in key ‘battleground states'” because Americans are stupid, Devega contends.

“Journalists, pundits, the mainstream political class, other experts, and everyday Americans who follow politics and current events closely assume that the average member of the public does so as well. There are decades of research by political scientists and other experts, however, that shows this to not be true. In reality, most Americans are politically disengaged, lack a sophisticated understanding of political matters, are imagistic and emotional, have a difficult time retaining and understanding complex information, do not pay close attention to elections until they decide to vote, and more generally are civically illiterate,” the Salon author writes. “More than half of

Even if their absurd thesis were true, Americans are keenly aware of how they are being attacked by their own government - high IQ or not.

Suddenly they show concern for Thanksgiving? The same Thanksgiving they’ve been attacking for years?

Their idea of democracy is akin to that of Israel’s enemies. But I digress..

ROTFL! Those crazy wackos at the Saloon. If Trump gets elected, no more turkey for you America! Sounds like the Saloon used USA Today’s World Famous Fart Checkers to confirm this. LOL! That’s what the crackers pushing Indian Day to replace Thankgiving have discovered.

Objective reporting. [/s]

But, as the sentence continues, it lists several reasons why Trump is trouncing Biden. She did list gasoline prices, but failed to list the even more significant rise in food costs.

The ‘information’ Americans have a difficult time dealing with are the CPI lies, FED interest rate lies, lies about how many ‘migrants’ are invading us, lies about Covid (both its origin and its vaxxxine, lies about what all this UKR spending is for, lies about voting results, lies about inflation/recession, lies about unemployment, lies about J6, lies about “repaid loans” and a pResident who is supposedly in command. Those lies?

The peons need to learn to obey their masters.

The masters are now regretting ever allowing the slaves to read.

There is important yet subtle difference they often use. They say “save OUR democracy”. In other words, rat control of all of it.

As usual, the left gets it 100% backwards. I honestly thought the left would try to make Obama "President" For Life".
