General Discussion

They want their base to be asleep when it comes to what's going on in the United States.
They want their zombified base to allow their rulers to tell them what to see, what to hear, how to feel, what to believe, how to act, and, most importantly who to hate.
And these zombified Magats are more than willing to surrender their consciousness to their Republican masters. It's easier to go through life if you don't have to make hard decisions, and have ready made scapegoats to blame when things don't go well in your life.

So, suffering is inevitable when you give up any chance of actually living your own life. For many of them, truth can only break through when their pain overrides this desire to have others live their lives for them.
This is a lesson of love that so many people have not been able to learn. For them hate is easier, and, when others direct your hate, it feels so consequence free.
But then the actuality of life is patient, and can eventually break down those barriers, forcing many people to confront their false realities.
I should point out that, as far as Magats are concerned, most of them will never wake up, and effectively die long before their actual death. Zombie life is so shallow.
