It's June No major 1/6 Indictments; Manchin still an obstruction; Trump still holding the Media card

I've tried to be an optimist.

But looking at the headlines the last few weeks and today and their largely Corporate spin makes me gag.

The apologists are fast taking the middle ground once again.

A lot of us are capitulating just like we did in the mid 1970's:

YAY! the Pandemics is over, (NOT!)
YAY! Trump lost an election (but not the war)
YAY! back to work (but in an economy still centered on the 1%),
YAY! back to partying (and Weed is still not legal),
YAY! back to putting our collective heads in the sand.

Wake up People, or you may well soon be living in an Autocracy. Your choice.

1. OMG, Biden has been in office for ALMOST FIVE WHOLE MONTHS

and he hasn't fixed everything! The horror, the horror....

3. Maybe don't try to be optimistic, try to increase understanding

of what's happening and let the rest come from that.

Btw, did you know that conservative and liberal brains process "input" in very different order? Generally speaking,

Conservative brains send new input for emotional reaction FIRST, then (if inclined) for cognitive analysis. MRIs typically show conservative emotional centers larger because they get used more.

Liberal brains send input for cognifive anaysls first, then send the results on for emotional processing.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?
