This is a bit of a measure of how far a head of us they really are. They create our problems, and bolster our reactions to accept their predetermined solutions. And we're so twisted between euphemistic lies, distractions and escapism, that we fall for every time.
The problem isn't that Johnny/Trump/MAGA can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny/Trump/MAGA can't think. The problem is that Johnny/Trump/MAGA doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.
Thomas Sowell
Most people don't want the truth.
They just want their beliefs reinforced.
Truth is appreciated by those who have control of their ego. Who are invested in reality even when it makes them uncomfortable.
The theater of absurdity we see coming out of DC, reflects this insanity.
