Folk #1: "Let's not kid ourselves. These people are the worst of us. And they think that we are stupid. They think they can lie to us over & over and we will just accept the lies. I have to believe that they are wrong. I do believe most of us really do value truth, facts, reason, common sense. This ridiculous shameless lying about pretty much everything is just gob-smackingly arrogant, and corrupt. Our job as Human Beings is to see clearly. Not just to entertain ourselves with idiocies. Yes. I do believe we are off the rails. But I don't think it takes much to look up and recognize we are going down a dark path. We can easily change the direction of this Country. "A change of consciousness can happen in an instant." Maybe I am naive, but I do think my species is capable of brilliant, wonderful things. Still. I suppose it's going to be the "common folk," moms & dads, workers & students, rising up and declaring "enough," of the lies, the idiocies, the bad acts. This current administration is a total joke & abomination, a black mark & a toxic stain on all of us."
