24. It's amazing what a steady diet of Faux "News" will do to your perception of reality.

I’m sure we all have the misfortune of having tried to reason with people who choose to pollute their consciousness with this potent mix of hatred, propaganda, and lies. It’s frustrating. Every single truth we here believe about tRump (pedophilia,, corruption, sexual assault charges), even things which are verifiable and true (he IS a felon!), they dismiss and accuse Biden or Clinton (take your pick) of doing and being. They will stare an an image of the deserted site of the 250 “state fair” while the announcer tells them “thousands are here enjoying this magnificent event” and not bat an eye.

For a democracy to survive something has to be done about this, but how can you shut down a lie factory without being accused of shredding the right to free speech? That plus the 24/7 hate radio is what has brought your country to this sad state. People are voting for their own destruction.
