- Very much yes. Also, villainy appeals to some who think it's a joke. And this shadow campaign with Q may be more insidious that we fully understand. -- nm - David Nov 4, 07:07 2
  - Watch some of these NXIVM docs. Or there was a Netflix series where they explain stuff and they did one on cults. That's really what's happening - pmb Nov 4, 07:17 1

    - this is just insane to me - that people think that is real. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:06 3
      - The fact is we've just split into alternate universes. I don't know how you fix that. As they said on the Today show this morning, it's a cultural - pmb Nov 4, 07:11 1
        
        Just as someone looking in from the outside, i'm pretty devastated today. I also have no idea how you fix this but it's horrific to watch. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:13
