We are in the midst of a decades long coup.

Nobody gives a shit because people no longer have the ability to percieve things happening at that time scale.

Fox News worked out great. These dumbshit Americans believe anything if they see it on tv.

It's not that they "no longer have the ability." Most people have never been able to comprehend things on that time scale when it's happening in real-time. It's only after the fact that people are able to look back and see clear signs and the early groundwork being laid.
