Your friends are still acting like everything is normal in America. What do you do? All Americans live in a “dual state.” Here’s what that means — and how to help others see it.

For me it’s at work where we don’t acknowledge what’s really happening and it is starting to drive me a little mad.

I work in a very diverse workforce, but for a very old fashioned company, and politics are not spoken of.

But I am surrounded by immigrants and people who are probably here on work visas, or are just dark skinned, and I have to think they are living with a constant background fear that is steadily rising but they never talk about it and I never say anything. I have a whole cycle of shame with it.

These are not…competent people. In fact, until we get our collective shit together and start pushing back as a nation, our only hope is that they are ultimately too fucking stupid to fascism.

While they are spectacularly moronic, and predictably childish and incompetent, we need a better strategy than hoping they will defeat themselves.

But boy are they fucking dumb. It would be hilarious if actual civilization weren’t at stake.

I can’t believe it’s been left up this long. I came across it like 5 hours ago and thought I took a screenshot and then the gummy kicked in and I spent the next 4 hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole on a woodworker who bought a farm, which I am technically still in.

Anyway when I remembered and first went to post this, I realized I hadn’t actually taken the screen shot. I figured there was no way the edit was still up all this time later but sure it enough, it was and still is.
