American's as a group have to be the dumbest group of people on the planet. WE have everything going for them that the world has to offer. Sure as individuals they are bright, educated, hard working, family oriented and of course compassionate people. But you put them in a group and you can sell them the biggest lies that one can come up with. Not only will they believe it, but will in turn help spread the BS and deception.
I was watching the news today, I do try and keep up with current events, and a prominent elected official was talking about ripping children from their parents at the border and holding them in Nazi internment camps.
What caught my attention is that he and the others on the panel were so emotionally involved that not only were there eyes watering but language with many colorful adjectives denouncing anyone who opposed their view.
Ok I get it, elections are coming up and kissing a baby is an election tradition. But if we go back one month and listen to him justifying and supporting ripping a baby from the mother and a Doctor sticking a scalpel in the back of its neck its ok (late term abortion). So the difference being its ok if done by a doctor and death occurs and not ok if law enforcement without a death is horrific.
I am not going to argue either point. My issue is when did people get so stupid and ignorant. In this day and age where all the information is at your fingertips. Available for you to see. Unlike any time in history.
People just follow like sheep to the slaughter. The information outlets (news, TV) blast political talking points and people blindly listen and follow. Never engaging the brain except the emotional side. Where emotions rule the day and dictate the decision making process. I understand that emotions play a part but not when it is dominate.
I say dumbest group because we have the information without having to look for it. A slow steady drip of feelings ruled by corruption. Thank the universe that I have a safe space to go to as long as I agree and follow along with the political correctness. Maybe if I feel like a woman tomorrow it will be a better day.
