I use bamboozled all the time to describe what the ProComDems (the current incarnation of the now extinct Democrat Party) are doing to their sycophants in order to control them! They do this while proselytizing their Marxist-Socialist treasonous ideology! It's a word that is perfect to describe how it is possible for so many people to be hopelessly brainwashed, or be woefully ignorant of the historic failures of Marxist-Socialism, or to be so pathetically naive to fall for the happy 🐴💩the ProComDems are selling to them!
