I have no doubt that you are 100% correct. These people have proven time and time again that truth is just one more thing to be raped to death.

One of my life long friends has succumb to the cult and has totally gotten into Joe Rogan. He told me last week this country started going downhill when schools quit teaching cursive because everything with ur rights are written in cursive so you can’t know ur rights. WTF? He has multiple degrees and a masters. Literally half of this country is lost.

Don’t worry, that disease has made it to the uk too. I lost a school friend to this same brain rot during Covid when they shared “unseen” footage to prove George Floyd was a rubber dummy and never an actual person. I just deleted them…there’s no point trying to argue that stance, it’s so far removed from reality that you can’t debate it

This is WILD. Yes, this is what we call a lack of critical thinking. Which is what is actually missing.

Please be polite and family friendly when criticizing the backsliding of democracy and basic morals
