It's beyond belief.... I am dumbstruck by this stupidity, stubbornness, and denial! I know of a few anti-vaccine doctors, ophthalmologists, and although I don't interact with them, I can't stop scratching my head in disbelief! Do these clowns know about these situations and people that you described above? What do they say about them? Or…
It's beyond belief.... I am dumbstruck by this stupidity, stubbornness, and denial! I know of a few anti-vaccine doctors, ophthalmologists, and although I don't interact with them, I can't stop scratching my head in disbelief! Do these clowns know about these situations and people that you described above? What do they say about them? Or do they avoid the news, odors they think that it's fiction?! Is there something in the water?
It's all so bizarre!
And then I listen to these whacky right wing lunatics, an increasing number of elected officials talking about January 6th as though those arrested are political hostages?! How did/when did things get so crazy?
I follow you, @Dr. Richardson, @Lucian Truscott IV, and try to learn everything from our history that would explain something how this evolved.... but regardless of what I have learned I guess I still feel it boils down to stupidity, selfishness, and insecurity.... and I am so sad that there doesn't seem to be anything that I can do about it. I just keep giving the most I can in acts and deeds to be kind and thoughtful to whomever I meet. But I am running out of fingers to plug up the dyke. Sad.
50 years of relentless far right "movement c onservatism", "white resentment" about "those people" taking stuff from them, no more "civics" education in school (and the promotion of functional illiteracy with all the "reforms' of learning to read... It all adds up. To this.
Sigh.... yes. But when I think of Emmet Till, like so many others people and situations in our history, I wonder if 'it's' always been in our dna, and the inability of some to resist such desperate ugly thoughts and actions is just another example of their weakness and, dare I say, lesser I.Q. s and sense of moral compasses?

Yeah, it has been so long it's in our DNA now.

Hey, Cynthia. I see it as Pandora's box now wide open.
