Because they have a very public plan to completely restructure the government to make Trump a dictator and the US a theocracy. This isn't normal. They're openly telling us they're going to do that.

If you're not afraid, you're either trying really hard to not pay attention, or you just hate America and want it to fall.

Of course I'm afraid. Probably more realistically than everyone responding as if I wasn't. I don't see a way to stop America from sinking further into a dark age.

It blows my mind how anti-intellecualism is so strong when we have so much information at our finger tips. The greedy takeover of Reddit is painful. Like a lobotomy. Finding sources and more perspectives was never easier than what had been built on that site. This last year has made it indistinguishable from other forms of media.

We are perpetually getting dumber and more afraid. And before I am questioned again, "we" includes me.
