Our founding fathers warned the American people that if too much power was given to bureaucratic officials, they would manipulate the public to achieve their own goals. As American history progresses, autocratic officials continue to cover their political agendas through the use of mass media and other forms of entertainment. Many Americans are currently absorbed in their own desires and do not realize that their recreational activities are intertwined with government propaganda. In exchange, individuals effortlessly accept fads, trends, and cultures that the government privately conditions us to follow because bureaucratic officials deceive us into believing that such inclinations come from our own desires. Orwellian predictions about government involvement in brainwashing society combined with Huxley's claims that our vain desires will ruin us; it is essentially the deadliest weapon to our demise. The initial prelude to our end began in the mid-19th century, when the government secretly funded projects for political use that in turn altered American culture. The United States has funded many paid literary works to detail our exceptionalism, regardless of the violent explosions and cataclysms of current culture. For example, Alexis De Tocqueville's description of American democracy and capitalism was funded by the government to counter the growing acceptance of Marxism (Ross.). Tocqueville's writings influenced pro-American sympathies abroad due to his inflation of American uniqueness and liberalism. If it were not for the U.S. government funding Tocqueville's expedition to the Civil War-era United States, it could be argued that the French writer might have depicted America as a combative and oppressive nation made up of individuals. ....first levels of government. Our reckless and impulsive desires are the driving force in America's spiral into the abyss of dissolution. However, the personal desires that are causing our demise have been influenced by the government to further whatever political and social agenda it has in store. However we cannot blame bureaucratic officials for having these desires because we allow government propaganda and promotion to infiltrate our minds and essentially run our lives. Even when we are actively aware of “subliminal” conditioning, we continue to follow our desires due to the longevity of propaganda and its prevalence in society. Both Huxley and Orwell inaccurately predicted that one or the other would be the cause of our deterioration; rather, both our desires and the government are working to tear down the values ​​on which America's freedom is based..
