It isn't so much the lying because that only works on the idiots that already believe him. It is the apathy that is most alarming. That there aren't more people paying attention and noting that we have an idiot in the White House and that we need to get him out; that is what is scary.

I do think however, as this situation gets worse and there are no sports, no movie theaters, and other distractions go away, that people will see what an asshole we have in the White House. Perhaps that is naive, but it is my sincere desire.
