One thing I learned from Kirk's murder.

[ananda]

7. Same. I was barely aware of Kirk till now. However, my big lesson...

was thinking about how much less safe our society has
been for children and young adults for the last thirty
years or so...

and the way it must affect the way the brain works,
how it processes constant insecurity and fear

This means that most people under 50 must be
responding to life with their reptile brain much of
the time.

And this is what Republicans appeal to, and themselves
operate on.

That might be why so many of them can be swayed to
think and vote the wrong way.
