What do you think? To be able to answer one must push an internal brain reset. One must turn off reality, turn off the natural instinct to protect oneself, negate any positive, realistic thinking and go to automatic conspiracy mode. Got it? Got it. Good job.
Additionally, one must accept the rule that bans independent thought. No choice in that. For that minor sacrifice, for that adherence to all the rules, what do you get? You get a red hat or a label of a 'progressive' or at the highest level, an ability to cheer on blatantly false statements whose glare blinds all. Thus, you, too, can be a member of the newly twisted society and nation that is America today. Such a privilege! Such a joy!
So....you tell me. What the heck has happened to the people of this nation? Where has independent, strongly tethered to reality, thinking gone? Has it been eroded by something in the water? In the air we breathe? In the plastic overrun of the world? In climate warming? Where? From what? Or perhaps it is a pandemic which we did not notice, so busy were we, are we, combating COVID? Aha!! Got it. The aliens. You know, the ones from that dark planet, who manage to magnetize our bodies through a COVID vaccine, forcing us to attract teaspoons onto our bodies.! Got it!
But wait! There's more. Do not forget the pizza store and the trafficking within. Do not forget the rebels of Jan. 6, the anti-fas morphed into Trumpian logotypes for their nefarious purpose of ...who the hell knows! Deny all the lies, the ones which miraculously were converted into statements of truth, merely by a nod and a wink from Trump. And how well his sycophants learned that talent. Makes one proud.
Here is the best one. Contrary to every shrieking, screaming fiber of a body, seeking to survive, growing numbers of fools are believing all they are told, drinking the descendant of the Kool-Aid of Reverend Jones! How? Just look around and try to see past the film thrown over deadly nonsense. No, COVID is not a hoax. Yes, people do indeed die from it. Painfully. Alone. Yes the vaccines help a great deal but no, are not perfect - no medication is. No, horse meds are not the answer, most definitely not and in fact, well, a good substitute for that short in supply Kool-Aid!
The whipped cream on top? The patently false statement re masks. The same thing. Are they perfect? No. Are there better ones? Yes. Are there enough of those better ones to go around. No, but they are so uncomfortable that most people would lay them aside anyway for the softer one, the three layered cloth or the four layer one, or one with an insert slot for a filter.
Now the cherry. There is a most definite conspiracy to take away all our rights. No mass events. No avoidance of masks and vaccines. No masks for the most vulnerable, little petri dishes of the disease - the kids under 12. Of course, their parents do not enforce the mask rule, poor little mites should not have to suffer that inconvenience. Nope, according to the 'valid' thinking of the day, better they suffer the worst of the pandemic. The parents will have proved their point. They remained stalwart proponents of independence. No one will force those awful life saving steps on them! No sirree!!
What has happened to the people of America? What has happened to logical thought? Where has the instinct to survive gone in these people? Why is it that perhaps the new immigrants, those seeking entry into this blessed country, are the only ones who continue to believe in its precepts, in the hope and the future it holds out for all? What has happened to us? When have we retrogressed to the temperatures of a previous Civil War and run down the tracks towards another, more bloody, more permanent one? Where? When? Why? Why?
Why indeed. Until all those why questions can be addressed, we are condemned to a very iffy, troubled future. All of us. We are intertwined. No matter the political name one pins on oneself, we all are on this small, endangered, orbiting planet, and no one will escape unscathed. We will all face the consequences of this irresponsible and deadly, yes, deadly, behavior and thinking. What am I saying? Thinking? Apparently approaching extinction level. And it is all on us.
