Your observation is so correct. We had to put up with it all for 45 years +some, and we’re a long way from shaking it off our backs. It was a long enough period of time to have created whole generations of people for whom this type of behaviour is the only way of thinking and acting and they aren’t even aware of it. Our first president after the fall of communism had been educated in Moscow and he did everything against his country while being completely convinced that he was doing what was best for us. He got elected by doing exactly as you described and masses just loved him, as he ‘was speaking their language’- that’s what they were saying, literally, in his defense and against his opponents. He would tell the targeted sections of the masses exactly what they wanted to hear. So, you’re on the mark, only we never imagined your people and country -the mighty America- would ever go through the same at their hands. Not in our wildest scenarios would we have thought it possible.
