A majority routinely believe sound bytes. A majority therefore knew smoking cigarettes increased health. Danon increased sales by 25% by preaching a mysterious ingredient called something like digitalis rectalitis. It is why Saddam had WMDs. It is why so many foolishly make computer damage easier by buying a power strip protector.

People most easily brainwashed by soundbytes tend to be the most adamant in denial. They actually insist they think for themselves.

Making those soundbytes nasty has an additional factor. It drives extremists to vote heavily. And it turns off moderates. The purpose of a nasty soundbyte and unlimited funds for campaigning is to empower extremism at the expense of intelligent and moderate voters. History repeatedly shows it works.

In a true capitalist system there would have been no taxpayer funded bailouts, poorly run businesses would be allowed to fail.

Singapore would be the best example, what I do not like about that country is that it is a police state where chewing gum is illegal.
