The CIA is very adept at propaganda. The propaganda continues from US government, elections to the Ukraine conflict. The "investment" by the US in its proxy war with Russia is enormous. The only folks benefiting from this are munitions makers and high office officials. The graft has been continuous.

Code I know you come from a Dem state, possibly also persuasion, frankly in my life had I been in the US I would have vote Dem more than Rep. The reason for my favouring Dems is that theocracies are a bad look in the world, think Moslem if you have a problem with this interpretation. The Republicans tended to demand a born again regardless of capability, that is a flaw.
Clearly the separation between state and church in the minds of Rep is now much clearer. this is a turning point.
When I studied later in life a year 2 paper in Philosophy incorrectly named in my view "Moral Reasoning" the concept of morals and values was a key point of discussion. My simplistic take was that Morals just are, and defined by belief, where as values demand debate and reason. That was the difference that separates the two.
The restoration of that to the Rep. is likely to help them succeed.

From an outsider, it seems that the USA is becoming a lawless place .... watch this stunningly arrogant FBI Deputy Director show her contempt for Congress; I couldn't blame the Congressman for being lost for words:
LATER: I should have used the word 'threatening' wrt the Deputy Director. Dan Bishop - and others - had better be very careful.

Their complete mastery of the media and propaganda tactics is practically the entire source of their power. With AI, which really is a thing, it's only going to get worse.

Their type has been bred out of the journalist gene pool, like cattle horns. You cannot have people rocking the ship of swamp.
