The majority is often filled with people too damned lazy to think for themselves.
That certainly is a convenient way of thinking to convince yourself that you are right and they are wrong.
Which does not necessarily make it a false statement.
It's been shown in studies that most people are just too busy getting on with their personal lives and problems to dig around in the muck of political opinion for themselves, and so those folks do tend to accept opinions "issued" to them - usually opinions in alignment with their own predispositions whether "Left " or "Right" - from other people. That's just the way it is, for better or worse. They tend to think whatever the TV or internet tells them to think simply because they've not got the time, or inclination, or in some cases intellectual horsepower, to personally dig into it themselves.

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, do you really think they aren't noticing rising gas prices along with everything else that is becoming unobtainable?
They are paying attention and looking for answers, perhaps some are not looking in the right places. Most people find the true answers and I bet they are discussing this among themselves as we are.
The majority of Americans are against this war with Iran.

Rumor has it that Trump will only listen to the warmongers and he is ignoring Vance and others who are trying to get the truths and realities in the forefront.

You are unaware that Hezbollah, Houthis and Palestinians exist, that they are funded by Iran, that they regularly attack Israel for the past 50 years, that Iran has promised to 'wipe Israel off the map'? Every major news network in the Western Hemisphere and Europe has carried these stories and given that information out for the past 50 years. You missed all that? I think it would be a bit cumbersome for members here to rehash 50 years of information for you. Facts that everyone else already knows from paying attention. You'll have to catch up on your own. Sorry.
I've been looking at past violent history in that region and it always seems that Israel is the instigator.
They retaliate because of Israel's aggression in that region.
