American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.
Don’t get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won’t do
anythingmuch to address the root issues, I’m afraid.Edit: changed a word
This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of “our proper place”.

In fact, as I recall they ended up taking the money and allocating it to the police budget instead.

Only ever maxed his level though. Got close with Zane (he stays slow, but gets pretty overpowered by the end - but only if you avoided the bugged out non-functional skills). Next highest level I got was on Amara. I loved Moze’s power armor, by that’s the char my girlfriend mained, so I never got mine leveled very far.

She’s far more intentionally manipulative than people realize, I’d wager. Convinced herself she clever, so she is obsessed with scheming…even though her brain is just a rotten pile of mush.
