The brainwashed are not aware of their brainwashing
Its easier for them to learn a lie, and keep believing in the lie, than to try and wake them up to reality. Their minds cant fathom the truth. Its easier with folks who are more open minded, though, usually them folks are already awake. Being close minded, keeps them closed off from reality. I also find more down to earth folks are easier to awake as well, vs hoity toity snobs, that relish in their riches, and stay far away from the common folk.
The Propaganda Machine is well entrenched in some folks minds. I pray that one day, before its too late, they will "put their glasses on".
