We all saw how people in Zadar were voting until very recently. Then, suddenly, Branko Mijić swoops into the local paper, followed by Viktor Ivančić in the community press, then Predrag Lucić joins the fray in the local news, and others follow suit—and we saw the fallout:
In Zadar, the granddaughter of some notorious killer from a rogue division ended up pulling in twice as many votes as the son of the man who founded our nation. Just a few years ago, that would have been unthinkable. Much like how they've reshaped the rest of the country to fit their warped, parallel reality, they threw everything they had at Zadar to bring it under control, and the election results speak for themselves. That's all there is to it.
See, you can't "convert" people like me, or you, or anyone else who actually finished school, picked up a book, or learned how to think for ourselves.
But those who blindly swallow whatever is served to them? There are far more of them, and that’s where the real danger lies—it's an enormous opening for manipulation.
If you walked into downtown Los Angeles right now, stood in the middle of a busy plaza, and stopped a hundred random people to ask a basic question—say, when the US Constitution was ratified—I guarantee you ninety-five of them wouldn't have a clue. And that's just the surface level stuff...
Man, I agree with you on one point, which is that the voting in Zadar happened exactly as it did. Try calculating how many people actually showed up to vote. They claim fifty or sixty percent, but out of what total number? Everyone who wasn't supporting her or Josipović likely stayed home because our candidate was a lost cause. And as they say, he who laughs last, laughs best. Don't talk to me about fighting for some office or position. We will see how things truly stand during the parliamentary elections; that is when we will really start counting the numbers. As for this lady in question, if you are from Zadar, try analyzing the people within her party—especially the women. Everything will become perfectly clear to you. They don't even meet here in Zadar; instead, they gather in Bihać at a station near a lady's brother.
