Now you can understand how the Salem Witch Trials happened..

[Peacetrain]

The average IQ leaves us with a lot of easily manipulated people, who follow the loudest voice. Most people are not the brightest bulbs in the string. Does not mean they are valued less, just means you get a charismatic character like Trump, Hitler etc who can wield power, they get in line , stay in line, and learn to fear the other.

We have a long road ahead of us to help the next generation back to normalcy.. but the scars of Trump will be on those who followed him for the rest of their lives.. does not mean they cannot move beyond it, but they will be scarred people.

Q-ANON, Proud Boys, Boogaloo boys (notice a lot of boys there) is prime example of people who are easily manipulated. fear fear fear..

If not stones, then press them to death through social media??

like the brown shirts. they seek it. they revel in it.

4. Kind of embarrassing to find we're no

Pervasive, destructive,.. insane ways which we socialize our boys to become men is fucked up.

Males have been weaponized to the point that they have become a threat to the very existence of a functional,.. society,.. community,.. commonwealth,... political systems,.. economic systems,.. religious systems,.. the population in general.

Toxic masculinity is dismantling our ability to live and function as a viable society.
