Understanding these mechanisms isn’t cause for despair – it’s a source of empowerment. Just as the Prussian system required belief to function, today’s control systems rely on our unconscious participation. By becoming conscious of these mechanisms, we break their power.
In 2024, Trump won all seven battleground states by an average of just over 2%, and his overall popular vote percentage will be approximately 10% lower than Nixon. Nixon’s margin of victory was an order of magnitude greater than Trump’s.
