Ya know what's worse? I'm sure this has probably happened to you too, when you talk to people who really don't follow current events and you bring this stuff up, they just shake their heads and think you fell off the deep end or have been hitting the bottle.
Not stupid people by any means, just completely oblivious to their surroundings and living there lives like nothing is wrong. Then one day they'll say, "why didn't you warn me"
No truer statement than "ignorance is bliss"
Oh, yes, I know those people. Like you said, either they think you are hitting the bottle, crazy, or a liar.
The world is about to come crashing down on people and they don’t even know it yet.
What’s shocking is the sheer number of people who have NO clue AT ALL as to what is going on.
