      Go look at the response to some of my other comments. My opinions and perspectives have been consistent throughout all of them, and yet you can see some of my comments have piles of upvotes and others are downvoted into oblivion.

      The cognitive dissonance is so extreme that it is palpable and observable in real time. Across the board almost everyone has downplayed the threat posed by Donald Trump. Every single day things get worse, yet he is only ever stronger and more emboldened. People are simply not prepared for what is coming. But how can you blame them…
