24. I believe that the mental block has to do with
something other than complexity.

The MSM doesn't even give this the time of day. I think it has to do with the fact that most people just will not let themselves believe that our democracy is being seriously threatened. We have had it drummed into our heads since we were little children that we live in the greatest democracy on earth. It's a given. Once people believe that something is God-given to them, they begin to take it for granted. Then they don't feel that they have to work hard to keep it. When we get to the point where we take our democracy for granted and don't think we have to do much in order to hang onto it, it will begin to slip away. Or rather, I believe that it is already slipping away. And if enough people don't wake up to that fact it will be gone.
