Well I believe all individual (which make up the majority and minority) desire (and require) both instability and stability. Eating PBJ for the rest of your life means you'll always be fed, but stirs longings for variety as well. I think we could temper that by doing exactly the opposite of what we've done for this current generation. I believe tons of people in a state of minimal attention spans and overchoice which seriously compromises their cognitive effectiveness. I was once a proponent of more choices in our electorate, but perhaps there is a silver lining to the lesser of 2 evils, because there's really only 2 choices. I'm wondering though how we, as a people, stop seeing it as the lesser of two evils and move to a perspective of the better of 2 choices. Open to any thoughts on this? I don't think the smattering of a trump-ian shake up is necessary (and never did) and leads to worse outcomes. I'm much more interested in using advert techniques, social psychology and genuine care and compassion to change hearts and minds, for the reasons you stated... people are okay with being lied to and sold a bill of goods. I wouldn't agree that people "like" being lied to, though.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
