Good point.... apathy to truth... signals confusion...
Could be “the People” do indeed have a givernment that matchs THEM... NOW...
How could be any other way when (most) public schools have taught socialism for many decades..

With little outrage over voter fraud and corruption at the highest levels..
i.e. Federal, State and Local.. even school boards..
