Clown Population

Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.
People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.

Wow, this looks like one of those kind of comments. I can see why it would be working...
Can you please quote and be specific what "this" means? What exactly you mean by "can see" and "would be working"? Are you citing the linked story about Facebook postings from Константин Рыков ? I need help on context of your reply, there are at least 3 different media platforms and authors being referenced in the Lemmy comment you replied to. Thank you.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov, 1980
"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance." ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
