Is it due to what we eat, our social media, the alphabet propaganda machine (most likely)?
Let us have a discusion on this if possible.

What is the Democratic scaremongering and propaganda?
Democrats are shitty because they are generally corporate sellouts. Republicans do the scaremongering and propaganda.
I feel like at this point, accurately reporting the state of the world counts as ‘Democratic scaremongering.’ Climate change is making the world less habitable. The coronavirus is capable of killing you. Some people will die as a direct result of the current forced-birth laws. It’s possible to have a functioning society without racism and sexism. For some reason, these facts are all “political” and it’s not the Democrats who are contesting them.
Scaremongering is by definition fabricating or playing up dangers. These are real.
Are you making a distinction between those who vote Democrat and the politicians in the party? I would say there is quite a difference there.
Mainstream media is generally propaganda, too, even lots of “left leaning” media.
For example, we don’t hear about the war crimes committed by Ukraine, only ones by Russia.
We don’t hear about how the US was actively working with right-wing groups in Ukraine to overthrow the government in 2014, efforts that helped further fracture relationship between Ukraine and Russia.
Or the military posturing by NATO in a geographically adjacent country to Russia.
War makes us forget nuance and accept simple absolute truths like Russia attacked Ukraine and therefore Ukraine must defend itself.
And for the record: fuck Russia for this ongoing conflict. They are the perpetrators, for sure. But all historical context to this conflict is completely thrown out in the eyes of the mainstream media.
Where are the anti-war democrats? Where are the people looking to end the war, rather than further fuel it with weapons? Nowhere to be found.
You know why? Because war makes too much money. Americans are paying to subsidize the cost of weapons to keep the war going. We the people are funding this.
We say “what are we supposed to do? Just let Russia invade Ukraine?” And then turn a blind eye to Palestinians occupied by Israel.
Voting to send Ukraine all of the weapons and resources they can possibly use. That is the only legitimate anti-war stance. It’s a remarkably black and white scenario where an authoritarian country invaded its democratic neighbor. Russia could end the war immediately simply by leaving. Ukraine, on the other hand, needs to actually win the war. Anything other than an absolute Ukrainian victory where Russia is forced out of all of Ukraine is a victory for war. The real-world anti-war position is that war must not be allowed to be an effective means of aggression. If war works, we get more war. When dictators learn that war doesn’t work, we’ll have less war. As long as Putin isn’t willing to pull back his soldiers and abandon all claims to all Ukrainian land, the only other option is to defeat him in battle.
Anybody who opposes arming Ukraine is objectively pro-war because the only plausible outcome in that scenario is a Russian victory.
to be fair, OP did say “Democrat and Republican scare mongering (etc)”
OP suggested “it” might be due to what we we eat. also OP explained NOTHING of what they meant.
OP is categorically a stain on all this.
For some reason, Republicans accuse their advisaries of the things they themselves are actually doing. My guess is that OP was Republican, has come to see that the Republicans are full of shit , bit still believes the lies they told about Democrats.
