Wrestling, Astrologers, Fortune Tellers, the Big Lie, Covid stories and lies, internet sites and Fox News stories are all complete fiction designed to suck gullible people into a silo or a state of compliance to that particular line of thinking.

            Americans are not the only suckers who fall for these stories and lies. Social media makes billions from allowing lies to dominate their sites. The bigger the lie the more gullible people buy into lies and deceit to shape their opinions. This is one reason people have fallen into silos and an anarchist mentality.

            Who is responsible for much of this problem? Some is home grown anarchists but we now know that Putin and Xi have told their cyber groups to create social division in the United States and other democracies. They have lit the fuse to destroy democracy and replace it with authoritarian governments like theirs.

            How to combat gullibility is with facts but in America’s situation facts are dismissed in the deluge of anti-science and anti-government hysteria. Putin and Xi don’t allow freedom of press in their countries and any anti-government posts are immediately removed and the person posting it arrested. In some countries, they might never be heard of again. Democracies have free press so we are fertile ground for Putin and Xi to destroy us without using Khrushchev’s bullet.
