Ending remarks
The main challenge for the citizens wanting to participate in this kind of politics is to be aware, as much as it is possible, of their own reasons and motives for thinking a that a certain belief is true If such a citizen could realize the difference between decisions based on group prejudices and desires and his own authentic and informed decisions, he would be free from propaganda activities "I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of Constitutional power." quote by Thomas Jefferson
