That's an excellent article. I often wonder if normalcy bias is what keeps so many freepers believing that we can turn the country around if we just double our efforts and elect the right kind of candidates.

Actually, electing the right kind of candidates IS how we turn the country around, so what are you talking about?

Probably.

Problem is, there isn't the *right kind* of candidate around to elect any more.

In my heart I know it impossible to change things anymore. I am a normally positive person so I try to be in denial and go along to get along...I don’t convince myself though!

I am a “prepper” and carry...so I do want to survive, and even plan to enjoy the process.

I know I am a bit weird!

Everyone in this group knows the math, knows the dumbing down of our children & grandchildren - and that govt leeches, perverts, thugs, racists, illegals & terrorists reign here. In my 46 years, I’ve seen everything my Dad predicted come to fruition, only faster.

We are in unsustainable times. For some, it’s is easier to sleep at night believing if we elect enough Reagans, the problems will vanish.

If we clean-slated fedgov & got all the candidates we wanted - than what? You think 50 million EBT cards going dark overnight will fix it? IMHO, it would merely accelerate SHTF. And what newly elected official would be brave enough to pull that trigger?

Anyone running for office these days is not a fixer, just another trough feeder.

It’s easier to hope for a saviour than face the abyss headlong.
