        It’s insane how many people either don’t see this, or just don’t believe it’s going to happen for literally no reason other than that they don’t want it to happen.

          You see it. I see it. Keep pointing it out. Collect the evidence to shut down disbelief. I sure hope we end up on the good side of history, and this gets stopped before it can get bad, but I’m not holding my breath.
