What can be done?

[Ken Mac]

There is a large contingent of Americans who no longer believe in science and academics. Furthermore, they no longer trust or velieve in government or the democratic process. They do not believe in news media that does not confirm or support their beliefs. . And they see their fellow citizen who do not believe their clams as enemies, traitors and conspirators.

These citizens practice a politics of grievance and want the power to govern based on no evidence of their claims of fraud. Would such power be healthy for a democracy? Doesn't the erosion of trust in institutions contribute to a stable healthy America?

What can be done to wake us from this toxic fever dream?

Written like a true lemming.

Let's all chip in and send them a care package. Let's send them some crystal balls, tarot cards, Ouija Boards. and a bunch of calling cards to connect with whatever psychic friend hotline is the most in vogue these days and wish them good luck.

What the hell. I'm feeling generous today. Let's throw in a bag of rabbit's foots. It didn't do the rabbits much good, but it couldn't hurt, right?

Well, you could always try developing your critical thinking skills. I think that would help you.

What you call critical thinking, I call cynicism.

Written like a true lemming.

Lemmings follow each other off the edge of the cliff. And thus the Trumpians, devoid of a footing in reality, are cultishly following this pitiful huckster into political oblivion.

They tell us that the pandemic is a hoax. They say masks are an imposition and not a public health imperative. They claim the election is rigged, yet have no proof.

And they want to be taken seriously.

Why?

We've had mandatory masking in the Tremendous Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 7 months and its been a complete failure. The virus is still being reported as more and more cases in both liberal and conservative towns. The masks are ineffective.

Are you speaking from science or anecdote?

I am looking at the statistics, so I would say science.

Since mandatory masking was instituted by our gay health secretary, death have gone up. It did not work.

How does the secretary being gay relate to the effectiveness of mask wearing or maybe you're doing a little gay bashing?
Government mandates that we have drivers license to drive yet some people drive without licenses so using your logic it doesn't work.
