1/ The modern demonization of government began with Ronald Reagan saying “The most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.’” That gave the right wing the cover it needed to reduce govt’s power to serve people.

2/ But it was all a ploy. They were just transforming the mission of government from helping the people to helping the corporations. Whereas corporate taxes used to cover 33% of our public treasury - a time during which we had a healthy middle class! - it now covers only 11%

3/ The propaganda has been so thick - and for so long - convincing people that government is the enemy, that millions of people have willingly put their power in the hands of thieves who steal their daily bread. It’s the gaslighting behind the policies that led us to where we are

Hey Marianne, can you recommend that folks watch this 4-part BBC documentary on propaganda called The Century of the Self? It is a real eye opener to how the American people are fed a steady diet of lies and manipulations. youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1…

Utter nonsense. It used to be that liberals distrusted government knowing that historically politicians abused power to enrich themselves and create an elite class. Today, sadly, liberals are easy pawns willing to throw away personal freedoms in exchange for big gov handouts.
