Locally there are no like minded people. I talk with anyone who wants to listen, and they all fall into two groups. There are right wingers who are actively malicious, wolves in sheeps clothing. They argue in false faith, deal in falicies, and their atrocious ends justify their atrocious means. Then there are the others.... theyre definitely the better of the two groups, but damn are they fucking stupid. If youre not a right winger, youre a conspiracy theorist who believes every single thing they hear. I start to explain complex issues and they immedietely start nodding like they understand, when I havent even gotten to the issue yet. Theyre god damn sheeple, and the only reason they arent right wingers is because a right winger isnt currently speaking to them. 0 ability to think for themselves, no memory or criticality whatsoever. At least in Oklahoma it legitimately feels like I am the actual only person who isnt a malicious right winger or some christo sheeple.

Do people not realise there is an option to be educated AND not evil?
