    Dig in deeper instead of just doing a Google search.

    Write a bunch of comments explaining how everyone else is wrong instead of just putting a few words in a search box to fact check yourself and realize you’re wrong.

    This is how Trump happened.

    You realize you, as a contemporary human, have literally the entire sum of human knowledge in your pocket, right? You don’t have to be an idiot everywhere. You could just, ya know, try to function like an autonomous person.

    Edit: I see what happened here. Didn’t retort, just down voted and moved on. What I wrote is fiction to them. They cannot accept defeat because doing so means admitting flaws, and that’s the last thing these people will ever do.

    Our political landscape is the culmination of a continued lack of investment into public education combined with a severely undermanaged mental health epidemic…probably brought on by wearing our brains down to nubs with mindless drone work and recycled media in the endless quest of satiating capitalism. The polluted water and food probably isn’t helping much either.
