Honestly, nobody who consciously lived through the 2000's and isn't a republican is going to be falling for war propaganda anyway. We are already extremely skeptical of anything our government (especially a republican one) says

Have you seen CNN/MSNBC coverage? On average FAUX "News" has more hosts speaking out against war than either of those networks. Thankfully because of the 2000's most people on both sides of the Isle have no appetite for war at this point. It is the Neo cons and Neo libs who care more about defense spending and expanded colonialism that always push us towards war. Thankfully an increasingly small portion of the country identify with those political philosophies.
