There’s a woman in our daily lives, not yet 20, had a good education and has a good job working with children. She may become our DIL. In her spare time she runs from one social justice cause to the next, pushing her views on social media. She and I go back and forth with our opinions of whatever topic, whether it be BLM, Police brutality, statues that glorify racism, etc.
I’m a right conservative republican Trump supporter. So you can imagine the exchanges on social media that we have. We’ve managed to keep it civil over the course of a year and I don’t expect it to go bad anytime soon. It seems to me that we are just one example of who knows how many similar relationships that exist today and that makes me wonder what will happen come November. She makes remarkable claims about access to the “dark web” and chat rooms that expose police improprieties, child trafficking, atrocities to undocumented immigrants and so forth. I look at her posts and ask myself “how can you possibly validate these claims from people you’ve never met?”
Tonight the OG discovers social media posts pointing wealthy celebrities to child molestation activities. Over time, it has become apparent to me that a lot of bad things are going on and they are not being exposed by the media because, well, it’s the media.
All these things I take in stride because I make an effort to not let anything in society surprise me. But I worry about how things may go if our country embraces the ideas pushed by the 5% that gets the most media attention, in other words Socialism/Antifa/eventual Communism.
So, what must we as rational citizens, need to do to steer society back to center in order to avoid a certain catastrophe?
