Why Are there so many sheep in America
Why do so many Americans believe what the main stream media tells them?

Because life is pretty decent for a lot of Americans so there's no need to agitate for radical change. This is not Tsarist Russia

Why do so many Americans believe those in the White House and in Congress?

Again because it's easy and because their lives are at least ok. No need to rock the boat. Also there's usually some truth to what everyone says nobody flat out lies.

Why do so many people believe in CNN, MSNBC, Fox and all of the national media?

You're asking the same question again

Why do so many Americans believe that censorship, banning and deletions are good on Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter if it helps only their cause?

Because they think online hate speech inspires violent lone wolves

Why do so many accept the word of others without proof, facts and research?

Asking the same question again see answers above

Why are so many Americans blind to see the future of America heading in the wrong direction?


Different people have different ideas of what the right and wrong directions are

Time Pink Floyd - Lyrics begin at 2:31 mark

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Just conformist - are there independent creative thinkers out there?
My issue with your op is that I don't find anything particularly creative or nonconformist about anything you posted.Holding a few non-majority opinions doesn't anoint you with the title of "Free Thinker". You just conform to a different subset.

I don’t know about that Gallup Poll.When Covid came around huge number of people went all in for the “fear porn” the networks were spewing.Could’t wait to get the vax and boosters.And then acted like I was an ignorant rube for not getting the vax.Couldn’t even talk about ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine,it was poison,they “saw it on the news” so it had to be true.
Maybe I just live around a bunch of sheeple but it was lots of it around here.The fear was palpable.

Repeat a lie and mass produce it. Play it over and over 24/7 on every mainstream news outlet. Brainwashing.

They don’t believe it, you’ve just been conditioned to believe they do

Because its easier to believe others than think for yourself.


Non thinkers have to rely on the opinions of others.

The only sheep out there are those who ignorantly don’t understand that my information on all this is obviously correct. And they’re gonna stay sheep because there’s no way anyone else matches my level of intellect. They’re all just pretenders. Sorry displacedblackeye and SlowToKnow and others.

Unbelievable that anyone would think anything else could be right. All hat and no cattle, the lot of you. Not even the hat actually.

I like how you think you aren't a sheep because you follow some alternative news site

You're still a sheep and just have a different shepherd

Because humans have been programmed to be ok with politicians stabbing them in the back as long they appear "nice", or "kind".

But hate anyone who bluntly tells the truth.

Sheep are in herds or flocks..

Mainstream media hounds are sheep. The dude who creates his own opinion is original.

Half of you people think its impossible to have an original thought, evidently.

What are the chances that the OP was cut/pasted from such a site? 80 percent?

I don't think OP has many original opinions

And let's be honest. A lot of original thoughts and opinions are nothing to be admired. Most of them are terribly stupid.

Sheeple, as they are appropriately called, are subject to gaslighting because of their super-dependence on social media outlets to get their information. Leftists use Facebook etc to mind frick the uneducated and uninformed to pass along their propaganda to their like minded "friends" who "like" shite and make it go viral. These sheeple have been indoctrinated to this by parents that used smart phones as baby sitters to their kids at an early age, or actually gave them one, which introduced them to these outlets at an early age to be molded to the group think of the sheeple around them.

It's a fricked up world. fricked up beyond words. As long as demons that finance, fund, and produce this shite are allowed to puke disinformation to dumbass audiences, this will be the societal status quo.
