    Great comment! You’re absolutely right, they aren’t brainwashed. I made my comment mostly out of disgust for the shameless appeals to morality you frequently get from those who vote Democrat, but looking back I feel calling them brainwashed implicitly absolves them of the deliberate choice they make to align themselves with imperialist interests in pursuit of personal gain.

      I used to think along the lines of if only these people knew the truth!; the perspective of brainwashing that I outlined is a relatively new understanding and point of learning for me.
