We're going to disagree here.

I anticipate that the people that surround me should be able to operate at the same level, if not higher, than I. If I find that not to be true, I share the pertinent information with them in a way that shows how consequences of not knowing would directly affect them and what were the apparent lies told by the politicians and the media.

With that said, I know how comfortable the lies can be. It's not an uphill battle when you figure out how to communicate those things to folks that will communicate to others. And to resign yourself before even starting, you've already conceded defeat.

There's just too much to lose without attempting to change the course of what will happen around you by sharing the information and your opinion. You do it here and most of us live nowhere near you. Why not do it in your immediate surroundings that would affect you?

Do not forget; I'm in the USA. Right now we're faced with equally damning choices for our president at this moment. I won't go down without a fight. And I'll make sure to arm those around me with facts. Sadly, we've now become a society that whenever they do vote, they ask questions afterwards.

We're ****ed.
