### Digging Through the Files of the American Mind
Recently, I interviewed several people about the current political climate, and what I found was both revealing and perplexing.
But the truth is, Trump has talked about raising Social Security benefits. When I reminded them that some seniors had already received raises, they acknowledged it — then quickly shifted to immigration. “Yeah, and he wants to go after illegals!” one said. “He’s illegal himself — he should deport himself!”
I corrected them: “Trump was born here. His parents were immigrants, yes, but he’s an American-born citizen.” They fell silent for a moment, then insisted that immigrants have a right to come to America. “True,” I said, “but only if they come the right way.”
Then I brought up another issue — Democratic policies that push gender ideology in schools. “They want to change your kids’ sex,” I said. “Your son could leave home a boy and come back a girl — and if you don’t support it, they could accuse you of child abuse.” Silence.
I went on to explain the dangers of the new digital currency systems — **CBDC** and **FedNow** — which would eliminate paper money and put financial control in the hands of the federal government. “If you do something they don’t like,” I warned, “they can simply cut your money off.” Again, silence.
It wasn’t ignorance. It was like I had reached into the filing cabinets of their minds, past the neatly arranged headlines at the front, and started pulling out the forgotten files in the back — the ones that made them uneasy. Their expressions changed. For a moment, it was as if they were hearing the truth again for the first time.
One woman, a working professional who began the conversation as anti-Trump, concluded by saying both parties were corrupt — a small but significant shift. Another, a retired city worker, looked ready to start a crusade for Trump by the end. The last, a man who worked for the city, pushed back hard. Every time I mentioned a Democratic policy, he threw January 6th at me, as if that single event erased every other wrongdoing.
In all three cases, I noticed the same phenomenon — they had replaced inconvenient truths with comfortable narratives. They weren’t unaware; they had simply refiled what they knew to the back of their minds. When I started digging through those drawers, they felt exposed, maybe even violated. Two of them eventually conceded some ground — the third held his position like a soldier on the last hill.
What struck me most wasn’t their politics, but the psychology behind it. Many Americans are not uninformed — they are **overinformed**, yet selectively attentive. They know the truth but choose to bury it under emotional loyalty, fear, or fatigue.
And that, I believe, is how propaganda works best — not by creating ignorance, but by convincing people to file away the truth and forget where they put it.
I know some of you are mainstream media outlets coming here to get your talking points. It's ok I'm not upset I want this info out there no matter who it comes from. All I ask is that you give me credit for my hard work.

## Digging Through the Files of the American Mind
*By WillyBill*
In a time when political noise drowns out nearly everything else, I set out to have real conversations — face to face — with ordinary Americans about the state of our nation. What I found was more revealing than I expected. It wasn’t ignorance or apathy dividing the country; it was selective awareness — a kind of national amnesia.
When asked about former President Donald Trump, most of my interviewees echoed what they’d heard on mainstream media: that he wanted to become a dictator and cut essential programs like Social Security, Medicare, and welfare. I recounted attending a town hall with Senator Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, where they’d stirred fear among seniors about losing those very benefits. The room had been thick with anxiety — yet when I reminded my interviewees that Trump had actually supported increasing Social Security payments, they acknowledged it, almost reluctantly.
Then the conversation pivoted — as it often does — to immigration. “Trump’s illegal,” one said, “he should deport himself.” I clarified that Trump was born in America, to immigrant parents, and reminded them that legal immigration has always been a cornerstone of the American dream. Still, emotion overrode logic.
When I raised questions about **Democratic policies on gender ideology**, particularly those that could criminalize parents for not affirming a child’s chosen gender, silence fell. It wasn’t confusion — it was discomfort. Similarly, when I mentioned the creation of **FedNow** and the potential rollout of **Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)** — systems that could end paper money and give the federal government direct financial control — the silence deepened.
In those moments, it felt as if I had reached into the filing cabinets of their minds. The front drawers were neatly organized with media talking points — “Trump’s a dictator,” “Democrats care about the poor,” “January 6 was the end of democracy.” But when I pulled open the back drawers, the ones holding inconvenient truths and forgotten facts, something changed. Their expressions shifted. Their tone softened. It was as though I had unearthed files they had deliberately buried.
One interviewee, a professional woman who began our talk as staunchly anti-Trump, ended by admitting that both parties were corrupt. Another, a retired city worker, became a passionate defender of Trump once we walked through policy realities rather than headlines. The third — a city employee — refused to budge, using January 6 as a shield against every point of logic.
What I witnessed wasn’t stupidity — it was **conditioning**. People weren’t uninformed; they were **strategically informed**. They knew certain facts but had learned, consciously or not, to suppress others. It’s as though decades of political manipulation and media narrative have trained citizens to rearrange the mental filing cabinet: what supports their bias stays in the front, and what threatens it gets pushed to the back.
This is the genius of modern propaganda — it doesn’t erase truth; it teaches people to ignore it.
The real threat to democracy isn’t Trump or Biden, right or left — it’s the death of honest reasoning. Americans no longer engage in dialogue to find truth; they engage to defend tribes. The media amplifies fear, politicians weaponize division, and the people — weary and distracted — simply stop digging.
The next election won’t be decided by who has the better ideas. It will be decided by who controls the filing cabinets of the American mind.
