I don’t know if that’s true. Case in point, the reason that Florida is drowning in COVID right now is that the majority of people there don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s the same thing and many other parts of the country. There are still a lot of people who are freaked out, but most ordinary people are starting to tune out the news and lose interest because the media calls to be scared and panic just make them numb eventually.
- twodave 5y agoI appreciate you sugar-coating it since I live there, but it's a bit worse than that. I live in Jacksonville. Of my friends, family and other connections there are just a few buckets people fall into: the informed, the purposefully-ignorant, and the idiots. Sadly, we've learned through the last year or so that many of our friends are actually idiots. That's been tough.
- boldpandabear 5y agoThey feel the same about you I’m sure.
- logicchains 5y ago>that many of our friends are actually idiots. You think they're idiots, and they probably think you're a totalitarian coward.
- twodave 5y agoI’m not sure I deserve the personal attack. I’m also not sure how else to describe folks who get the majority of their “news” from Facebook.
