With those vivid dreams and your recall, I’d say you are getting enough resistant starch in your diet.
If we could dump every American into a truth machine, we’d probably find that only 20% of the people spouting or following leftist ways are believers. The other 80% (dem or pub both) are wildly misled and misinformed. You might use the word dumb, but I still think they just have no clue.
I was a bit young in the ‘60s for the huge antiwar demonstrations, but my sisters were not and their boyfriends were all making the scene down in DC. I played the role of the little brother and hung around at picnics etc... I did ask a few of the male friends why they protested. Without exception, save for cousin Danny (who is a 60’s version of today’s basement dwellers), they all said the same thing to the little brother (me). “To pick up chicks.”
It is the “cousin Danny’s” of the world I would keep an eye on. They’re crazy.
My sister is a teacher and my wife works at our school district. It is really amazing that many of their colleagues espouse true, solid conservative beliefs...but, year after year after year vote Dem and spout their talking points. Many people are weak minded and simply cannot see truth right in front of them.
