6. They can't agree, so they hate everybody - including each other!

The big problem I see with this group, tho, is that they're young, for the most part. They're the young, white, disenchanted, enraged males in our population - and then not even ALL of them. (sigh) These are the people who are going to be fighting you tooth and nail every single day to keep things as evil and prejudiced as they are right now. These are the people who are going to continue to see that America never again becomes a First Among Nations. They're the ones who are the underside of the dirty electric pole, ripped up from the mud, with all the detritus still hanging from their frames. They will STILL be the ones with guns. Even if we get around to creating and erecting new, sensible gun laws these are the people who will never abide by those laws... and will shoot you when you "come to take their guns away."

HOW do we turn these angry white males around to the point they can function in a civil society? How do we deprogram them? How do we get rid of the influencers... Heritage Foundation, think tanks, the maga judicial regime, not to mention the tiktokers and Instragram and YouTube influencers. How do we teach them to admire and respect women. How do we teach them No means NO!
