The biggest enemy of the people.

After watching some lady from the Independent Women's Forum on TV this morning, I have come to the conclusion that the biggest enemy of the American people is ignorance.

After all we know and have been told about Russian involvement in our government, and after the secret meetings with Russian officials, and lying before the Congress, and the firing of top officials in our government, and the continuing violation of our Constitution, she saw nothing.

Her explanation was that everyone met with foreign officials and it was all a conspiracy hatched in the minds of Hillary-lovers that hate Trump. The ignorance was profound. It was dangerous.
The people cannot survive surrounded by such naivete. There was not one hair of suspicion about anything that has happened.

The scariest part of it all is the realization that she is not alone.
