Facing Reality

 Life is unpredictable.  Sometimes we think we can predict it, but it tends to surprise us.  Not long ago, common knowledge was that if Russia decided to invade Ukraine, they would overrun it.  Now clearly that didn't happen.  In fact, I was reading about how Putin thought the Ukrainians would welcome him with flowers.  If you surround yourself with "Yes Men" you are living in a bubble.  That works until you leave the bubble.

We see a lot of that in this country now.  It seems different to me now but maybe I was just naive when I was young.  Studies show that most people live with people who share their views.  I don't mean that they live among other Americans who share fundamental values, rather they live with partisans who believe things that are controversial.

Believing that there is one or more organizations rigging elections, but which can't be found despite queries and audits, is like believing in Yeti or Aliens.  Simply put, if 99% of the evidence points to one conclusion but you hang onto the 1% that might be inconclusive, you have a problem.
