    I find I sometimes struggle with…hmm I’m lacking the word here. I feel like there’s this mental whiplash when I read about stuff like this.

    As a little kid I was taught in school that we have laws to keep society orderly for everyone. I was taught about morals and between right and wrong. Who “good” and “bad” people were.

    I always thought the government was “good”. And then I see stuff like this and my brain short circuits.

      I apologize for making you feel that way, but, in my opinion, knowledge is power. They have to do something if thousands of citizens protest. Otherwise, who knows how far they’re willing to go. Oh wait, it’s Project 2025

        Oh you’re absolutely right. I would rather know about it than pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows. I just find it jarring that so much of the morals and rules I grew up on are not how things actually are lol
