What will it Take?

What will it take for the trumpsters to wake up to what's going on? SS and Medicare dismantling? They don't care about the environment and science. They don't care about him raiding the coffers or even wars. They don't care about much more than their teevee lineup each night, whether or not their pizza gets delivered with cheezy crust, and/or how big of a carry mug they can fill up with coffee or soda at the convenience store. We know we're all f'd but what will it take for them to realize?

So far, the media has been so enabling of him and I don't see that changing regardless of what he does. I have no idea if The Fox News would even report the truth of the effects if/when they completely gut SS and Medicare. If The Fox News told them that it was in their best interest they'd just believe what they're told - and order another pizza.

I find myself thinking about these things too much and in order to protect my own sanity I sometimes border on complete information shut-down. I need to find a like-minded group to help me process all this shit and funnel my energy toward making a positive difference. God, I feel like shit. Okay, session is over. Thank you for listening.

stupid assed dumb fucks. They don't care about anything, unless it concerns them personally. Some will learn, some will defend republicans over the cliff.
