Migizi says: "Human beings cannot see the overall picture of things anymore. Their sense of perspective has become as narrow as that of the politicians whom they follow blindly."
People nowadays tend to look at anecdotes, especially when it comes to deciding whom to vote for in this Presidential race. A healthy antidote is to use one's common sense - or, if that's not sufficient, to look at trends.
Actual data seldom tell a simple tale of disaster or triumph, but in the current era of blatant, hysterical behavior, political statements about the demise of the US are greatly exaggerated, if not downright delusional. This is why dark and blatant claims such as "Our country has become a shithole" or "We, as a Nation, are under threat of an enemy within (meaning immigrants and the Left)" are so misleading, if not beyond deceitful. It is the same tactic as used by countless dictators and warmongers from the past and it is extremely, extremely dangerous.
If I were a cheeky eagle, I would be tempted to soar high above the current MAGA madness and drop my poop right on the crown of someone's orange hairpiece.
