Trans youth health care is already illegal in Missouri under a law enacted in 2023. But you wouldn’t know that from Amendment 3’s marketing.

Those several who view themselves as critical thinkers sound as delusional as Trump who views himself as a stable genius. Being drawn to conspiracy theories at all, much less “tangles,” screams, dire need to avoid reality. And arrogance is used to mask insecurities.

My observations support your insights There are several, too, who see themselves as critical thinkers They dive deep into “facts” tied into conspiracy tangles Boy oh boy, the tangles are complex They reject facts that cut the Gordian Knot of their own making Arrogance compensates for insecurity

Maybe, many have never been critical thinkers, & have always been followers. Many of Trump’s supporters are entertained by him…laughing at his vile, outrageous comments & mindlessly applauding him. They’re very comfortable with his abusive words & actions. I wonder what % were abused in childhood.

Sure feels that way. Most of my clients are MAGA. Each has been bamboozled by widespread repeated propaganda. Fox or NewsMax or Instagram or X or DailyWire or … They’re fundamentally good but they seem to crave boogeyman nonsense. Existential fear drains their brains of critical thinking.

Trickle Down - all TRICK, no Treat
Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

For any reading impaired offices of ICE, Border Patrol (CBP), and the FBI: The "civil...service" aspect of the law below applies to you. You will go to jail for 5 years if you follow orders to deploy at polling stations. There will be a reckoning for those civil officers, "Only following orders."

Science is inherently political and when our government is actively hostile to science as a whole, publications should be able to write about it without being censored. Alas. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
