Now, now, be fair. It can also mean that the mindless mask wearer is simply one of the Left's well-intentioned but essentially mindlessly obeying Useful Idiot type; promoting a national virtue-signaling narrative that they were told to promote . . . without realizing the real reasons why their ideological masters ordered them to promote it. Useful idiots are extremely useful . . . until they no longer are.

The old Soviet Union monsters demonstrated to the world what they did to no longer useful Useful Idiots once gaining total control of a nation . . . and it wasn't pretty. You'd think that the inherently Useful Idiot types inside the United States would have taken note of the fate of their counter parts overseas and wised up after that; but refusing to study history and learn from it is WHY they are Useful Idiots in the first place. They inherently CANNOT learn.

Oh and . . . upvoted.

Food for thought. Did the U.I's question what was happening to them in the end? "I did what you told me to do! Why am I here??" Did the State answer them, or just let it sink in? I like the idea of the State explaining how they manipulated them before liquidation. I bet some thought those condemning them were just bad actors, and not "real" communists. Explains why so many could hear the truth straight from the horse's mouth and still not believe what's being said. "Pffft! Sure, there's a 'nEw WoRlD oRdEr'. Okay, tin foil hatter." *pays for bread with retinal scan*

I think that they were never told. In a way that's the more evil approach. Arrested on total bull shit charges that everyone KNOWS are bullshit charges and then executed or . . . simply isolated with people who were NOT useful idiots -- but not important enough to save -- and then starved to death.
