It takes money and funding to convince people to think a certain way ... look at all advertising, Coca-Cola, Doritos, Gucci, Ferrari, Ford, Google, Facebook, Amazon ..... most people easily identify these things because of years of advertising. Conservative parties and politicians are pretty bland individuals and hardly have that much charisma, especially here in Canada ..... but when you plaster their face and their voice non stop in video, paper, commercials, TV, internet, radio everywhere all the time ... it has an effect on people. Look at all the idiots everywhere that have the 'Fuck Trudeau' sign everywhere in shirts, cars, trucks, houses, stickers It all requires funding and money to maintain all that promotion. So the majority of people aren't thinking this way ... they are being marketed to think that the majority of people are thinking this way. The longer the marketing happens ... the more people believe it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago You're right, thanks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago It's time for a fairness doctrine in every country.
