Maybe the tide is turning.
They cleaned up the streets of New York. They overruled illegal Supreme Court decisions. Republicans seem set to take over the US congress under a party that has shifted entirely to a pro-Trump alignment.
They see a woman getting trampled to death by police while some truckers are trying to protest the obvious insanity.
They see a world that was supposed to be undergoing a global warming apocalypse by now doing just fine. Carbon being invoked like it is some magic demon out of hell.
They see a war on Russia for nebulous reasons over a country they couldn't point out on a map that is costing them everything.
They see an EU that is trying to tell everybody how to live while their central bank system crashes and is proven to be fundamentally unsound.
They see a pandemic that was supposed to rival the black plague and measures that were supposed to be scientific obviousness suddenly be put on the back burner like it was a joke all along. No clear scientific reason for lifting the mask mandates. No fatalities other than the very vulnerable.
Where were the massive celebrations that the virus was finally defeated? Where were the doctors popping bottles of champaign over their victory over nature?
They see pundit eminences like Bill Maher back peddaling everything about the last 3 years.
They see a show trial about an event that everybody understood to be a legal manifestation of the people's frustration over clear voter fraud. Millions of votes sent by USPS with no supervision, nothing off here. Republican observers denied access to the polling stations.
They see that Iran was not the insurmountable task that the crazies always said it was, a single precision strike on one madman general and problem solved. No multi-trillion dollar war.
They see peace in the middle east was actually possible, and achieved.
The media saing one thing one day, another thing the next, and the exact opposite three days later.
Commie madmen rending their garments over kids, but not giving a hoot over the environments that cause their problems.
I don't think any of this is lost on people.
There's no one thing that's true. It's all true.
Ernest Hemingway
