    Insecure people want simple lies over complex truth.

      Also worth mentioning this problem is decades in the making and it’s not just America. In Canada we have systematically destroyed our healthcare and education systems to the point where people and trusting them less and less. People, myself included, are not right wing and are checking out of a system that is not doing anything to protect me and mine.

      I am NOT voting conservative but I can see the allure. People latch onto rhetoric when Maslow’s hierarchy of needs isn’t met. When you feel threatened your options disappear regardless of if they’re there or not. Stress impacts your ability to think properly.

      As stated elsewhere we are heading down a dark path and few of us have flashlights and are scared AF at where the mob is going to lead us.

      History is repeating itself because we stopped following history and the ones we used to trust we don’t anymore.
