"but im more worried about the 40%....they have always been here and they are still here and propagating"
Me too Dino. Problem is, to be honest, a few of that 40% are likely friends of mine.
What do I tell them? Do I think of them as stupid?, blind?, foolish?, uninformed?, conned?, or all of the above!
Do I cut off all contact with them because they are on the wrong side of a clear line between supporting good or evil?
What can I say to make someone, even someone who MAY respect and like me, SEE how wrong their judgment is on this evil human?
It's not like the info isn't out there. EVERYONE knows enough of his life to be able to easily see his lack of character (on every level!), his inherent greed, and egocentric childishness. (You do know it was HE, who whipped ISIS, "...not Obama, Me, Me, Me,'') don't you? He told us this just yesterday!
People have CHOSEN to ignore what they know. For a variety of reasons. Fear is one. Fear of the "progressive" agenda.
Fear of the "others" here for our jobs and to change our lifestyle.
Fear, even of the truth, that they suspect.
Another reason is intellectual laziness. People don't read any more. Not really. They don't seek NEW information, try to get wiser.
That takes energy, effort. Can't do THAT and watch TV and look at smartphones for 6 - 8 hours a day.
Few folks even read novels. Real literature is a rarity for our attention. And forget about non-fictional examinations of our culture. Much much too depressing, difficult.
Charles Bowden likely died of a broken heart because of people's lack of interest in knowing truth, real truth.
He spent his last decade searching for truth along the Border, and telling us in every way he knew to wake up and touch reality.
I will always prize the words of encouragement(?) he penned inside of my "Blood Orchid" novel I asked him to sign.
He wrote (simply) "Enjoy The Garden"--------------
I think he knew it wasn't gonna last long.
