Fractured America

[Brenda]

Broken into a million pieces. I remember when the breaking started in earnest...it was Facebook. Everyone got their own little private Idaho. I never signed up. Yeah, Fox News began in 1996 but it's always had a predisposed audience at its core.

By design by billionaires, people have been corralled into little bubbles where they are completely shielded from knowledge and truth about what's going on with other people in other countries, states, other cities, or even other neighborhoods in their area. The evil, corrupt, criminals use the bubbles to their advantage.

It was shocking enough that anyone voted for Chump after January 6. But with all the Nazi type chaos and illegal actions and violence and ruination and cruelty and torture and cold blooded murder being perpetuated at an ever increasing rate upon Americans...

America has to stop fracturing or I think it will implode.

Mass psychological trauma is being foisted onto every single person in America by this administration and their AI drunk billionaire tech bros. If the vast majority of Americans (including the fucking republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court) cannot respond to the murder of Renee Good and the clear insanity of Chump as a united group, then America will be no more.

1. I'm old enough to remember the Bicentennial

It was EVERYWHERE. TV specials, concerts, celebrations. You couldn’t get away from it if you wanted to. We actually seemed to get together as a country and celebrate our achievements.
So this year it’s 250. Not a peep. We might not even make it to the end of the year. There’s nothing to celebrate. Patriotic? 😂😂😂 What’s there to be patriotic about? Goons murdering innocent citizens? Pointless wars?

2. Even my little hometown of 1,500 had a parade and fireworks and booths set up along the main street.

Seems a million miles away and a million years ago.

3. Yeah

The only peep I have heard about our 250th was from AAA who recommends where to visit for celebrations.

I don't think we'll make it to the end of the year either.

5. Watched a vid about how Russia and China are exploiting this

Their bot farms are swarming social media in an effort to create further divide and increase anger.

[Brenda]

7. Not surprising, eh?

[Cirsium]

8. Social media

I never signed up, either. Social media destroyed the Internet, and now has destroyed society.
