    it says a lot about the political coverage in the media and half of the voting population, but I’m not sure it says something about all of us. some of which were raising alarms and flags for 50 years (I’m not that old but I know people that were) and were ignored. sometimes intentionally.

      In history it’s often portrayed as thirds.

      A third is complicit in supporting fascist ideology

      A third are active in fighting against fascist ideology

      And a third are ignorant of any side and don’t care if one or the other is supported so long as they are able to eat, have shelter and get by.

      It’s the ignorant masses that are the most volatile because all that’s needed is a brief moment of their attention to change the course of history.
