Everything is accepted as normal, if it comes from Trump or his lawyers. Murder? Violent coup? Stealing nuclear secrets? Nothing matters anymore. They are dead and incapable of thinking.
They can ignore the truth but they cannot ignore the consequences of the truth.

Actually, as I think about it - it wont be so much neighbor against neighbor (which that will also be true); but it will be the people against the government in various forms. We will have lost faith in the government - and the only positive is that - everyone will be invited to the party.

Sorry, not getting you. Media? Bootlickers? No one is in the streets protesting here in the US, except Gaza. No one's marching against the brutal assault against US women. No one's marching against the continued coup trump is waging against US government. 99.9% of folks on the street corner could give a reasonable explanation of what's happening in our country. Worse, they don't really give one shit to educate themselves. They're not numb, they don't give one fuck.

Doing the same thing that doesn't work, over and over, is the definition of insanity.
