Think Before Voting

Submitted by ub on

Today is the primary day but time to consider registering to vote if you have not done so and preparing to cast a November ballot.

As Congress and DOJ continue to investigate precisely what occurred in the #USA the spread of disinformation continues to play a key role in perpetuating propaganda, which is one of the greatest threats to American democracy. 
 

Next, consider the following. How did words, or phrases such as Witch-Hunt, Woke, Hoax, and Farce become the Go-to response and hollowed out excuses for breaking the law and ignoring established norms whenever it becomes convenient?

A witch-hunt Is a search for and subsequent persecution of a supposed witch. or a campaign directed against a person or group holding unorthodox or unpopular views.

A hoax has always been a humorous or malicious deception.

A woke is past of wake, an alert to societal injustice, especially racism.

A farce is a dramatic comic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations., like slapstick comedy, or an absurd event.

How did the former guy explain the global pandemic, climate change, gun violence, and other dangers we continue to deal with?

Perhaps it is time to start thinking about the words used for excuses and not doing the job Americans expect from leadership.
