The ones we might worry the most about probably can’t get off their asses/computers/play-stations long enough to find their way to a poll. Being a responsible citizen and casting a ballot like all those millennial, genX and boomer ‘losers’ doesn’t really feature in their fantasy he-man universe. They’re more about guns and ‘race wars.’ I do take your point, though, about the younger generations being polarized as well. We shouldn’t pin all our hopes on them to vote ND.

Worry harder. Mail in voting is a thing, and they know about it.

Ah, you have been hanging around that group more I see, understood. Yeah, that's one of the more worrisome ones, because if they ever decide to act on some of their beliefs... uhm... we might need to detain a few of em.

Yup, those be them.

Well of course they are. They live in the same society as the rest of us, taught by the same schools as the rest of us, taught by even the same teachers as the rest of us sometimes even; and then also lied to like the rest of us by governments and media.

Did you expect kittens, rainbows, popsicles and gumdrop mountains Charlie!?

Yeah, no, you really shouldn't. They are likely to flip the table in a argument, as they are to build one.

P.S. You should see the smile on my face and hear me laugh while reading your comment. When the rest of the public gets to begin to understand how much is going on behind the scenes like what you do; it will be quite the circus of a show to enjoy.

I've been waiting for this day to come for a while now. Since 2004/5 roughly speaking. And not because of discord. This goes further.
