    My folks: maybe a dictator is what we need.

    … my has the educational system failed you. Or perhaps you don’t understand the meaning of words? Did those years of leaded gasoline get to you? I’m dumbfounded.

      They are brainwashed. I got a cold for the 2nd time this season. My dad: well you shouldn’t have gotten the flu shot. My response in front of the whole family: I thought you didn’t go to college let alone medical school. How did you have the time with all the television you watch?

        Indeed. I’ve been trying to push them away from watching so much Fox News and actually picking up a book on these topics. I’ve seen the stuff they watch, and it’s all garbage. Of course they are going to think crazy things if everything they are consuming is crazy.

        It’s a real shame. I can’t completely separate from these people, but I’ve lost friends over such ridiculous claims. It’s a shame.

            This a huge problem with older Americans.

            This a huge problem with uneducated, ignorant people of ALL AGES - go to any right wing area of the country.

      Remember if you ever mention communism it’s “DiCtAtOrS KiLlEd PeOpLe!” But if it’s Trump dictatorship then suddenly it’s ok.

      I hate these people.
