The first words of a Beatles song there... Yep, just read the news today, oh boy...
It's hard to put into words what I've seen out there in the webs. An example? Some dude on CBS is claiming that to support the LAWFUL right to keep and bear arms is akin to slavery. Yep. This kind of drivel gets treated as a serious opinion. For somebody in a position that some would regard as authority, it is scary. These people are in a dangerous bubble. You can only believe that if you are mind-bendingly crazy. Slaves don't carry guns, so who is pushing slavery onto the people? The projection is sickening.
Another example is the opinion that the Democrats may be planning to steal this election too. Well, they're always doing that. It's just that they are getting better at it, and they're getting a lot of help from some Republicans. The idea that the Democrats can EXPECT to be re-elected in the midst of such mis-governance is in itself mind-boggling. But Biden is out there projecting "confidence". Confidence in what???
Truth is hard to come by. Some of these headlines are pure clickbait. To get you to click on it, and then don't deliver what you might expect. No examples to offer on this one, but it did happen a couple times this morning as I perused the web.
It is remarkable that, in an age where massive information is at one's fingertips, there can exist such a dogged attempt to mislead people. Even when it is found to be wrong, it persists anyway.
Goebbels would blush in such an environment. But we are told we are a free country. Darkness is closing in on us all, but hey, "weesa free". Take your guns, stick you with the death jab, lock you down, and shut you up. Still the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Riiight.
