A LOT, if not an actual majority, of people in the US get what passes for information solely from network news, which has been a marathon of murderous police and rioting protesters lately. Actual violent crime statistics have been on the downward trend for years, but if you're only watching the yellow journalism on television you'll be left with the impression that we live in the setting from Escape from New York.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Gud, I am so glad. All the love to you and your girl.

Plei, WRT to people not getting basic facts? It totally doesn't matter. We are in a post fact era. That and what my friend Benn says:
"Also, I don't think Trump's supporters, aka The Deplorables, give a shit about anything but electing an asshole to punish the rest of America for, well, 8 years of a black president, for a country that is changing around them in ways they can't understand and so are threatened by, for having any money they may have had siphoned off by the 1%, and for largely being disenfranchised by the very institutions they grew up believing in."
I think that is the crux of why people will go to bat for Trump.

Gud, I'm so glad to hear she's on the mend. How utterly terrifying the whole experience must be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gud, so glad.

Thanks for the update, Gud. I hope you can get some rest, too.
