Exactly.

They have us heading down the road they want us to be on.

And the strongest weapon out there? Social media.

Next strongest weapon, the two parties.

I mentioned this before, but in the past presidential candidates used to have to reach out to the middle of the asle voters. The undecided. People who wanted to see who they think would be the better president.

But with the help of social media, both sides along with the many bots created to spread bullshite on these platforms, have made people pick a side and now its about making sure people get out an vote. And the way you get people to get out and vote is to create fear.

Both sides get out and go vote because they think that if the other side gets elected that will be the end of this country.

There are "consultant groups" who are paid to collect and analyze data to the point they can figure out exactly who they they need to target (or what areas they need to hit the hardest in order to drive THEIR message home).

The fact that something like taking a vaccine or wearing a mask are so controversial says it all. People are not willing to budge and will go down fighting over these things.

This country, both sides need to be humbled. The left has to stop with their bullshite.. White guilt, canceling and trying to force everyone to accept everyone else by shoving it in people's faces and the right (the ultra right at least) has gone full out conspiracy theorist.

People always say things like "things are getting worse, blah blah blah" and I refuse to believe that because there are a lot of reasons this is probably the best time in world history to be a live, but I have never seen this country be so divided and I like to think that things will correct itself, but if we continue on this path, we might get to a point where there is no turning back and that is a shame because this is the greatest country to have ever been built and compromising played a big part in building this country, but no one wants to compromise anymore.

Each side wants it their way and that's because of the change in people's mentality. Politicians don't give a frick, they are only worried about staying elected so they will believe in or support whatever they have to in order to stay elected and when they know there are certain topics the majority of the people they represent are passionate about, they will hit those topics home just because they know that if the people are really passionate about those topics the more likely they will get out and go vote for them.

Something has to be done.
