Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.

    I hate to say it, but that mess in the 20th century was humanity paying the piper for insane tech advancements.

    We’re going to have to pay again. We aren’t smart enough to handle it. Those that are can only sit back and watch in horror at what we do with it.

      Yes to all but the last sentence. We live and act, how can we use that best for the rest of us? Smarts have nothing to do with it.

        I don’t believe that we’re collectively smart enough. I have spent too much time around too many people.

        Religion, ancient lasers, flat earth, lizard people, Illuminati. These things are waaaaaaay more common than rational people realize.

        Pick any random person and talk to them about what they believe. Prepare to be amazed.
