Educate yourself and don't rely on cable news channels. They are only going to tell you the parts they want you to hear. It's up to you to get the real truth.

If there were an all out civil war, race war, etc. they ALL would be perfectly fine with that. Ratings my friends.

And stay away from the political mems. While some are funny AF, most are completely false and outright lies.

What would you hold as a legitimate news source? I have a feeling the answer might be pretty terrifying.

I think a big problem with the world nowadays is we can be so insular (which is where willful ignorance stems from). You can live in a bubble and surround yourself with the news YOU want to hear. Facebook algorithms really seemed to amplify this in the past two years, but it's always been there (the "just watch FOX News" crowd, for instance).

I try to read from a variety of sources - CNN, BBC, Fox, weed out the opinion spin and you can usually get to the meat of most stories.

Trump is a reprehensible human being, in league with Moscow. Today's Republican party is the greatest threat the United States has ever faced. I honestly doubt that our republic will survive.

Naw, too many checks on the executive branch and too much Constitutional grounding for that to realistically happen. There would have to be the sort of big bang event no one could ignore to catalyze anything like that, IMO.

That said, it's crazy seeing what the GOP has co-opted to win in my life time. Hope they're enjoying that W...

I hope you're right. Buckle up nevertheless. It's going to get very ugly/violent. Summer is coming.
