SoylentNews is people

the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    I think my comment bears reflecting on. Sure, people may be crazier than they've been before. But the poll was managed by a group using that poll to justify their own existence. There is a huge conflict of interest here. My take is that with very improper poll design you could probably get 1 in 5 to agree that cartoon character, Mickey Mouse is the President of the US even though none of those polled would actually believe that.
