I watched this today:

And then I saw this comment:
So this is how it’s done? This is hard to even respond to. The libs are right. When the population gets….. I’m sorry, I can’t even respond to this. This level of diabolical, and yes, intentional ignorance is impossible for me to wrap my head around.
I was struct by the term INTENTIONAL IGNORANCE. What exactly is this? A medical disease? A failure of our school systems? A national suicide pact?
After thinking about it for awhile I would have to conclude that we are a nation of cowards. It is so much easier to turn off and tune out than to challenge those who have told us our whole lives that because of our skin color, economic situation, or family background, we have to think a certain way. My grandpa voted for a Democrat so I must keep doing it even though the Democrats have time and time again used their mandates/power to look out for themselves and hurt those who they tricked and lied to into giving them that power.
But keep doing what you are doing. If you don't know, you can't care or have that uncomfortable conversation with yourself that you are part of the problem. Keep ignorant about what is happening around you, just as long as your belly is full and your EBT card is magically replenished every month. If it is not, is that G.W. Bush's fault too? Getting your news from a comedy show, just so you can laugh instead of cry. Get that free Obamacare, as long as it does not affect your pocket book. Save the world, as long as it doesn't affect you and yours.
It is time for good men to become better and better men to know better. Go out and meet your leaders, look them in the eye, work hard to support good men and women, and look for truth.
