None of this crap makes any difference when it comes to who will win in 2022 and 24, you can pontificate until the cows come home the facts are Dem voters are congregated in urban/large city areas the rural voters, while only a 3rd? a quarter? of voters in the entire US get increasingly more "leverage" our stupid voting system... electoral college and gerrymandering enjoy our current malaise until 2022 and 2024... when Maher's prediction (and others) stands a large chance of happening BUT HEY, It's really important that all media keeps informing us of repetitious updates and photos of a young white blond girl, who hooked up with some stupid asshole murderer... not too bright folks, not too bright can we move on yet to "Your democracy is dead... Trump is now in charge again and executions are in line for "liberals" and "agitators".... Putin is hired as Secretary of State, and "special advisor" Melania and Jarad become head of the World Bank poor Ivanka suffers an "accidental poisoning"

>>Big picture What is this curriculum of abstract thought not covered in detail here? giving them a good basic understanding of bullshit and how con artists work would be useful. What is the bullshitter's motivation to sway you? Does the history of the bullshitter give you pause? What are the facts the bullshitter is providing? Can you verify what the bullshitters say? Does any part of the bullshitters demeanor not line up with what the bullshitters say to YOU? Does the bullshitter walk the walk or is it all bullshit? Do they have a family history of bullshit? Do they surround themselves with other people as full of bullshit as they are? Does the bullshitter hug the flag like a 40 year-old rapist attacks a 14 year-old in a bikini? etc.
