Futurama had the internet nailed.

Those are scary words.

"Final Stage" and "Trump's Plan" remind me a lot of the Final Solution and the Jewish Question. 😮‍💨

Education systems across America are very different. Poor (including rural) districts have a very hard time getting decent funding and, therefore, good teachers.

I was fortunate to have a decent public education and parents who trusted the teachers. This is not the case across the board.

This is why I'm seeking public office as an Independent. There is no way to fix it except to do it ourselves.

What's your assessment? Lack of good education? Or something worse?

I watched a video after this happened where a guy was testing defenses. He tried what he called electric headphones that I'm guessing are noise canceling, and they made it worse. Best defense was ear muffs and a riot shield.

Which also means these conversations were on an unapproved app on an unapproved device. Actual government phones wouldn't be able to get Signal, right?

Yup, people are going to die, and it is going to be their fault... and they won't care. Maybe the American people will. 🤔

At this point, I just feel bad for them. Our education system failed them. These "deranged" people you are talking about are our friends, coworkers, and family who have been misled by a system that was built based on slavery. Keep your masses uneducated, and you can do what you want with them.

Some of them woke up before the election (a friend of mine from Arkansas), some were killed by Covid (my coworker from Texas), and some will learn what the unintended consequences are of voting against their best interest (my aunt that used to work for the federal government in Ohio).

But deranged, they are not. However, I do think Hillary was right. Some of them are deplorable, but I don’t know any deplorables.
