Changing your mind is possible
Watching RT hammer the usual RUSSIAN_MEDDLING crap. Media are calling Tulsi "Putin's Puppet".
I was saying similar things back in 2008.
In this item I had reached a point of maximum confusion and cognitive dissonance. I had already recognized that Deepstate started with Wilson, recognized that Saudi was our boss and enemy, recognized the "blood for oil" fallacy, recognized that Bush was serving Deepstate loyally. But I was blaming Russia for Bush's treachery and treason:
This attitude ran strictly contrary to what I had learned MUCH EARLIER about Russia and Russians. But I was still watching TV in 2008, so I wasn't able to return to my own experiential learning about both Russia and Islam. I returned to full experiential sanity in 2011 after unplugging the TV.
Changing your mind is possible, but not while you're connected to Deepstate via TV.

The current occupant of the Oval Office, Putin's dear soulmate, has followed the Wilson delusion more feverishly than Wilson himself. He spends thousands of lives and trillions of dollars to "bring Democracy" to the Middle East, and in the process he makes resources even harder to reach. He won't even claim our OWN offshore territory for oil extraction; he defines allies as enemies and enemies as allies; he kisses the ring of our Saudi attackers when he should have depopulated their country and claimed its oil as American property.Bush was Putin's soulmate. Sounds a lot like Putin's puppet. Ouch.
None of the current candidates will question the Wilsonian delusion; all of them take the bizarre position that Putin's soulmate is fighting this war with maximum strength and loyalty. Some promise to stay on the current path until we are totally bankrupt and exhausted (though they don't say the last part of the sentence) and some promise to surrender quickly and cleanly. Since those are the only available choices, quick and clean surrender is preferable. At least we will know where we stand, and we will not be spending the next 100 years in a long terminal illness.
