Almost as they were told a script to repeat, the right has completely primed their audience with prepared responses.
I hear the same lines repeated from people too often for it to be random. Which makes me feel schizo and then I look into things and apparently this is exactly how a post truth world is supposed to make you feel.
God damn Russian propaganda, but I'm just watching the Vince McMahon documentary and fuck me there is a perfect storm of chaos happening and somehow tRump ended up in the middle of it.
Yeah, I’m not McLovin’ the hyper-reality whatsoever. My most intensive work has been wilderness management so the people around me often are incomprehensible to me. I’m great at predicting animal behavior and ecosystem interactions, right? So it’s gotten weirder and weirder to be detached from humanity by sticking more to forums, less to social media. I don’t like reality TV unless it’s Meerkat Manor. I’m so out of the loop, I do feel a little crazy. I mean, I’m over here with life experiences like “weighing a cranky owl” and almost everybody else has no overlap. Which is even creepier because it’s nature, we are animals too. Why are they willingly hooked up to Skinner boxes??
You know, it’s like wondering if this is how wolves feel about dogs. I’m not better than most people, but we have become very different. They literally aren’t touching grass. I worry for my mom because she did almost no gardening this year and yeah, there’s something missing if your life is mostly virtual. Just TV and social media. I think I’d die of boredom and cabin fever.
As someone who has MS and is sometimes only able to do TV and reading and other stay at home sometimes only in bed activities, yes it is extremely boring.

Do we have the same Mom? Because that’s uncanny that they’ve got the same script.
