7. And when a conservative is freaking out over a manufactured nothing

and we see through the lies with a contemptuous calm, they see us as lacking the common sense to notice a terrible threat to god, mom, and apple pie.

What we do know is that people who have that much free floating anxiety already are super easy to manipulate into panic and directed rage, which is where we are now with a shockingly high percentage of people here. It's why support for Fatso remains high and why hellfire and bigotry preached from pulpits sell so well. We also know that keeping these people hyper alert and stressed out will shorten their lives by keeping their bodies conwtantly flooded with stress hormones.

The bright spot is that I've noticed a distinct de-escalation since Limbaugh did humanity a favor by dying and staying dead. Even Fatso's bluster and sloganeering have failed to fill that boild.
