    don’t leave out the simultaneous inventing of problems that DON’T actually exist:

    • library books with gay characters
    • immigrant “invasion”/ “great replacement”
    • WMD in the middle east (AGAIN)
    • oppression of christians
    • censorship of right-wing anything
    • vaccines/masks (for anyone except ICE)
    • abortion/birth control
    • “nobody wants to work”

    too many to list, but suffice to say: if maga says it’s a problem, you can bet your likely insufficient paycheck that it isn’t

      Honest question, will they ever have an epiphany? Florida having no warnings for hurricanes seems like it’s going to be an issue that affects them.

        it’s extremely difficult to deprogram cult mind control/brainwashing. and the more people who are tangled up in it, the harder it is. short answer, no. they will not have an epiphany. we are pretty much mirroring 1930s germany. the difference here is that the state surveillance is pretty much way beyond anything even imagined in 1984 (the book or the actual year). it may well be too late.

        stay safe and educate yourself on what to be prepared for

      Who’s going to fund the billionaires? They need a lot of money to keep themselves rich? You think they hoard because they are capitalists? They’re paycheck to paycheck. You should all be ashamed disregarding the cannibalism route as a solution.
