The seemingly intractable problem we face.

[fncceo]

Everything in This Universe operates on a principle of Supply and Demand.

It's pointless to have a supply if you can't deliver it on demand.

I've changed my mind on the test for registering to vote.

If you aren't smart enough to know who pays the tariffs you shouldn't be registered.

If you think that tRump was denied due process in both impeachment hearings you shouldn't be registered.

If you think vaccines are deadly and diseases are not, you shouldn't be registered.

There's a long list.

If you think the Covid shot was a VAccine.... you should not register to vote.. if you believe it prevented the spread of covid, and it was ok to give the shot to little kids who were not at risk... throw masks on them when they were not at risk, cause massive depression among our kids.. you should have your head examined and also not be allowed to vote.

The implications being disastrous for self governance due to the difficulty in agreeing on what needs fixing and how to fix it.

True.

And of course the purpose of the right’s campaign of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies is to undermine democracy and hobble the political process perceived to be beneficial to Republicans.

Republican voters believe things that aren’t true. That’s a problem for the GOP.​

Solar power is the cheapest form of electricity to set up in most parts of the world. Tariffs are paid by U.S. importers, who pass along the costs to consumers. And noncitizen voting is extraordinarily rare.

These three statements are facts. You can verify them by looking at scientific research, listening to experts or just reading reliable news outlets.

Recent polls, however, show that substantial numbers of Republican voters simply don’t believe these statements. That’s bad for the country, because it’s harder for us to solve problems and decide how to move ahead when we can’t agree on the facts. It’s also bad for Republican politicians — and they have only themselves to blame.

Led by President Donald Trump, many members of the GOP in recent years have made their case by attacking the underlying facts, making baseless claims and undermining the credibility of independent experts who could contradict them. The result is a party that is increasingly out of touch with voters outside its ideological bubble and unable to come up with good arguments or practical solutions.

Republican voters believe things that aren’t true. That’s a problem for the GOP.

The party can’t make good arguments or put forward solutions unless it’s grounded in reality.

Not as much of a problem for the GOP as it is for the country.

Clearly, the problem extends beyond those issues. Primary among them being R's reticence in acknowledging who won the 2020 election and whether trump is culpable for trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

The implications being disastrous for self governance due to the difficulty in agreeing on what needs fixing and how to fix it. So long as there is a conservative media cohort reinforcing falsehoods like the three mentioned in the article I hold out little hope of things improving any time soon.

People are going to believe what they want to believe regardless. It is no more problematic than all the dems who helped give us Trump yet again by playing along with the Biden is still fit to lead and Harris was best choice to replace him nonsense or who believe that we are doomed to fry in 2030

You don't have to accept me ... you can ignore me for all I care.

Sorry, voice to text ducked me over on that one.

As brilliant as the Founders were, and as brilliant as the Contitution is, there's no way they could have seen that so much of this country would create their own separate reality like this. They did see the possibility of a con man, and they did their best to guard against it, but they didn't, and couldn't, see THIS.

They did not foresee huge federal, state, regional and city governments and other entities designed to take a citizen's money. And it is a lot when totaled.

Yeah were all fooled when Dems told us Joe Biden was sharp as a tack.

The way around that is by GEO orbital solar arrays that beam down energy as microwaves to receiver antennae that convert it to electricity.

I first got interested in solar power satellites in 1980.

IIRC, I was a couple years later on noticing such and being very interested.
