Bumped into a high school friend for the first time in 30 years.

131. The Biggest Difference I've noticed

is that liberal/progressive/left leaning people are intellectually curious while the conservative/authoritarian/right leaning people absolutely are not.

That doesn't mean having a college education, living in a big city or traveling abroad. It just means reading books and questioning authority and the world around you.

Some hillbillies I've known are acutely aware of the fraudulent predatory nature of Repubs and especially Trumpism.

But as already pointed out, Hate Radio and Fox really followed the Goebbels playbook well to create so many ignorant zombies.

Forgot to add Oh Yeah, the internet. In such a few short years social media and the large number of really sus websites have unleashed hell on earth. I used to surf and read a lot but now I've almost abandoned the internet because it's like I'm reading so many posts by people with serious mental illness or serious psyops crap. Don't have time for games and wasted life.
