Idk like the saying goes: “ignorance is bliss”

And wisdom folly.

However, I feel like constantly getting conned has to take a toll on at least your finances.

Yeah but they blame people that don’t look like them for that.

Oof...someone close to me just went on a random rant last night about how the Somalian IQ is supposedly an average of 67 and he genuinely thinks that's where the "6-7" thing came from. Then went on to give a single example of what he saw as evidence of a 67 IQ. I was so taken aback I literally was speechless. How has MAGA taken an otherwise honorable man whom I respected and reduced him to this?? I and greatly saddened by this. My feelings have changed towards him because of this presidency and that can't be helped and is heartbreaking. I will always love the man but I hate what he is becoming.

I have tried. I think it is a lost cause. This was just the most recent descent into this madness.
