Let me enlighten you to the undecided group that is so mystifying- we want to talk about stuff that matters. We want to hear about what the politicians are going to, practically and in real life, DO about issues like growing national deficits, failing social security, health care cost, the border crisis, inflation, homelessness, paying for national defense, crime, how we will participate on the world stage… you know, important stuff. Stuff that holds back would-be real despots and fascists in the world at large (not throwing around empty name calling. I’m talking about the legit next Hitler).
Also, we do not want our leaders to “tweet” out serious info, like the resignation of their nominated position with the Democratic Party a handful of months before the 🤬ing presidential election.
Serious things should not happen on Twitter or X or whatever it’s being called these days. But I guess that’s what is left when universities crumble into decay and refuse to keep open, intelligent discourse alive and institutions become more concerned with control and click bait than communicating trustworthy information during crucially important times. Like during COVID. Or the rise in gender theology. Or the censorship crisis (on both sides). Or when one side uses the court to attack the other side. Or one side riles up the masses with borderline rhetoric so they try to interrupt the transfer of power after a fair election. Or when the media complex only allows a one-sided version of discourse to be seen.
It’s like I’m living in a mash-up, B-rated version of 1984, Brave New World, and Animal Farm.
The most terrifying thing is that this podcast was useful for me. But now I’m just more scared. This cannot be reality.
Just reminding everyone who is feeling as desperate as I am after listening to this drivel that not everyone is like this. They are the loudest ones but they are not the only ones. There are whole swaths of humans- Americans- who think deeply. And we are challenging our kids to do the same. You just don’t hear from us because we aren’t on Twitter/X.
Maybe our leaders should get off that ridiculous platform! It just gives the stupid place more credibility.
