It’s really sad how true this is. I just don’t understand why people are so into hate and fear-mongering.
People I have known since I was young, smart, kind people, have asked me questions at times like “do you think America is secretly controlled by the british?” “Did you hear Obama kills children?” “You need to know, I found out recently the druggie have taken over Chicago, Oregon and California. They are running naked, burning everything. They are coming for all of us”. And of course “I saw recently on YouTube that trans people are raping children! They want to destroy America and groom your kids!”
These are all real. From long time friends. It’s incredibly disturbing!! Not to mention one of my kids is trans so I occasionally get the concerned boomer friend saying “don’t let your kid succumb to their tricks!”
People, just do some real research! Don’t trust social media for answers… I feel like most people just want to be tricked because that way they can feel part of something and think less.

Because change is scary; figuring out how to adapt to a changing world is hard, and it’s a lot easier to just blame someone else for your problems. And besides, righteous anger feels good.

The first one is plausible. The rest is batshit insane. lol
I think the first one is more plausible the other way around
