This is the biggest benefit of President Trump:
Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.
According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.
That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online.
The MSM is like the r-selected source of free news. As it is discredited in everyone’s minds, everyone is forced to search out their own sources of data and make up their own minds. The shock that will occur in people’s minds when they realize just how full of shit the liberal establishment is will forever scar their amygdalae with the realization you cannot trust the establishment or its mouthpieces.
When the Apocalypse hits, there will be a real contempt and distrust for all established sources of authority. I cannot see the majority wanting to maintain the bloated federal government after all of this. As our polarization increases, the r-strategists will see something far too K for them in a government that is anything less than a full on tyranny, and the K-strategists will see the threat of r-strategists gaining power within it no matter how K it goes.
I really see no path but breakup, unless there is a massive depopulating event, or a sudden crackdown by the government and the establishment of an open tyranny.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because when the time comes, breaking up may be all we can agree on
[…] The Power Of Persuasion – The MSM Is Fake News […]
Yep. The media, politician, academia, the medical community, experts of all fields; they’ve all lost credibility, and finally it’s really starting to matter.
Who can blame people these days for being skeptical about everything from the moon landing to whether the earth is round or flat? How can society function when all authority is lost? It’s gonna get ugly.
The Fake Americans wouldn’t be able to manage separate entities. The left coast, the black belt and the hispanic southwest would at best resemble Detroit, at worst Venezuela. They would be depleted of fresh water, food and troops. It would be “Flyover” country’s revenge. Though It would be funny seeing Cali separatists trying to flee to Iowa or Arkansas. The country would eventually be whole again, and run by the productive. Of course interference by a super-power China could happen, then all bets would be off.
