I'm getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don't start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.
That's kinda why the rich let us have elections in the first place.
So i have adhd and its goven me some insight:
If you have enough real problems, theyre all distractions from each other! Its great!
It's probably a mix of distraction and real problem.
Or they just throw everything at the wall and hope enough of it sticks.
And the opposition should do the same (but in the opposite direction, of course).
That is precisely why my cousin Zaphod was allowed to become president, to draw attention.
