It seems like the majority of people have no clue what is going on right now in this country. They just go on about their lives as if nothing at all is happening. I definitely get not stressing about this full time, but, at least for me, it has been hard to pay attention to much else.
Apart from people being oblivious, when they are shown information or told about what is going on, many just seem to shrug it off as if it is no big deal, like it won't affect them.
It has made me feel like I'm completely losing my mind. Most people that I talk to have no idea that the President is likely going to enforce the insurrection act or martial law. Many have no idea that China has heavily invaded our country.
And even when they are told about it...they still just shrug their shoulders.
Am I the only one that is dealing with this?
I try to be conscious of that. I’m a history buff. I used to watch this show called Connections with James Burke. In one episode he posited that the creation of the atomic bomb was dependent on the invention of the stirrup, which was a decisive factor in the outcome of - I’m thinking it was the battle of Hastings in 1100-something AD. And he walked the whole thing through, this led to that etc.
So I’m putting pieces together all the time in a way that makes my mind-set completely alien to what’s going on in other people’s heads.
