Want to know what the herd is thinking?

Read the media stories.  They are not "news".  They are just a repackaging of what the media already knows the people want to hear.  The pendulum is swinging such that the people want to hear conservative stories and so that increasingly what they are getting.

Trust me, this is going to have major effects on the economy.  This crap about laying out 500,600,700k for a shoebox property is going the way of the dodo soon.  This crap about blindly believing that if you just keep putting money into the stock market that it will be there with huge gains to boot when you need it for retirement, that fantasy will evaporate soon as well.  Conservatives will stop believing in fairy tales and fantasy for that is the territory of liberal mindedness.

This is partially also why Disney is going to collapse.  Conservatives don't waste money on cheesy encounters with a guy in a mouse suit no matter how supposedly cool they were taught to believe that to be.  Major, major changes are coming and those who cater to conservatives going forward will make a freaking fortune.
