We are becoming a People who make decisions based on a tapered stare.
And if there is something that doesn’t affect us – We don’t seem to care.
We have one source for our news.
Only follow what supports our views.
Common sense and critical thinking are waning.
Nothing gets our attention, unless it’s entertaining.
No longer read – too long, too serious, too difficult.
Only appetite and attention for the likes of TikTok.
No longer based on evidence and science.
Demonizing experts and those with experience.
No time to research what is happening.
Yet we can give a blow by blow about the Kardashians.
Dismiss what is calmer.
Go for the drama.
Even in our politics.
We go for the lies, propaganda and gossiping.
Character and Morality don’t seem to matter.
Maintaining power and personal gain seem to be the answer.
As Trump downplays 200,000 dead – He is modeling indifference.
And there are many who are internalizing this.
Which become part of their person and daily existence.
We ignore the effects of outside influence –
Real threats to our security.
Creating home grown terrorists –
As we continue to fight internally.
No longer speaking to our better angels.
Following blindly as Trump’s minions.
