That is probably a good thing, meaning only 1 in 5 voting age Americans (so what, perhaps 1 in 8/10 Americans?) were utterly brainwashed into playing their part in the theatrical performance, the rest of us were not quite manipulated enough to learn our lines
But the GOP did what it wanted, they manipulated America to go pro-business, pro-greed (not in the voting booth, but in their everyday opinions and beliefs and expectations, now the US is baited for quite a fleecing by the businesses) in the same way the 2008 DEMS got much of America to forget all about the prisons and the cops and the War(s) and just go for that "feel good" moment, regardless of it there was actually any reasons to feel good in the first place..
after all..

We have all been manipulated through media, through group think, through phone banks and cadreism where we believe the misinformation.
Elections are a theater designed to get us all in pseudo-involvement and to continue to believe in the hype, the myth, and to let them continue to control us and exploit us and put us in prison.. fuck that!
but in reality the election does not determine the outcome, it is only a kind of litmus test for the government to see the social climate and how far they can push us, and also for the government to continue to manipulate us into the systematized deception that we have some, any, kind of democracy..
