16. China is the "most feared enemy" we have
Yes, it's oxymoronic that they also hold "most favored nation" trade status. But that's the "reality" of neofascist national security policy: the (formerly) American People must be protect up and until the point it starts to eat into the profits.

And BTW, facts won't help you out with the creeps. They've been well-trained to despise facts. Yes, really.

They only act on belief, not knowledge.

When they "insist" on some falsehood (like the Clinton/China thing) try telling them that "eveybody knows that's not true" and/or "nobody believes that stuff anymore."

It really is more effective than trying to persuade or convince them of something using more information.

I know this might sound irrational, but it's because you're part of the reality-based community (that they so despise).
