Reply #54: I can't disagree with you

I've tried to fool myself about it. I've tried to convince myself that Americans can't be as stupid as what we see at FR.

But these past couple of weeks I've learned the truth. Neighbor, internet friend...never suspected either. IGNORANT. Obama is a Muslim. McCain yard sign. I think I've disabused the first of all the lies her RW "friends" have filled her head with about Obama; she still admits to not knowing who to vote for. Her head is spinning. She can't believe she's been lied to all this time. She's where I was three years ago...The world has tilted.

The yard sign neighbors -- I no longer speak to them. Even though they're otherwise a very nice elderly couple. They're deaf in the most cruel sense: they don't listen to dissonant voices.

And through all this I know in my heart there are LOTS more like them out there. Totally brainwashed. Happily going to the slaughter.

I have no trouble whatsoever understanding how Hitler rose to power.
