...about tea-con disenchantment.

But I didn't make the case very clearly.

I am finding that the tea-cons in my blue collar world are increasingly obsessed with satanic/masonic symbols that are "everywhere". They tell me it's because no real change has come proving that there are shdowy over lords somewhere.

I just wonder if they jump to the even more ungrounded world of symbols and secret societies to give their disillusionment somewhere to go........ because joining us to fight for their share of America is just not an option.
