Reality testing and interest in knowledge and facts has dropped precipitously since the GQP figured out many years ago that it gleans sway over the weak minded by simply fabricating and lying. Then comes right wing talk radio that spread to network TV with programs designed to increase the viewers blood pressure and keep them watching. Apparently, this is half of the country’s only method of increasing their heart rate. I can understand the ‘getting sucked in’ feeling that comes over sometimes when watching the media scream the same story over and over - not like giving the news but making a Netflix series out of it. That is the same lure that has brought all these rubes down the shitty shit hole of conspiracy crap - the addictive feeling of the excitement watching a scary movie - never mind that it’s all made up and we know it is. They don’t care anymore that it’s a crummy, completely implausible, poorly written murder mystery. They live by it as if it was handed down from God or should I say GQD.
I live amongst these idiots. One of my neighbors even purchased a necklace with a Q on it and told me she thinks of herself as “highly” educated. It’s all so breathtaking and there’s no talking them out of their lunacy. I think they’re snorting that lovely Palm Desert sand. The next year of watching them shall be even more breathtaking. They have lost their minds.
I've lost my son to this maddening bullshit. He was raised to be a good Dem. I've given up on ever getting him back to any sort of reasoning. Some of the other family members that I expected this from haven't disappointed either. It's all very surreal!! Thanks for a great read as usual.

Another masterpiece as usual, Jeff
You’re the only one who talks about politics and politicians honestly. The same way a lot of us talk. Love it.

As usual, you bring light to the darkness. As usual, we thank you.
