Satellite imagery taken after the US strike on Iran’s Fordow site showed smoke rising from the fuel enrichment plant. US President Donald Trump claimed key Iranian nuclear sites had been “obliterated,” while Iran claimed it had removed nuclear material from the sites before the strikes.
But that’s my point regarding healthcare. You guys just accept the status quo and this is where it has gotten you. It was never always like this in America; it’s just that the noose has slowly been tightening around your necks and you just… Let it be.
It’s always a choice. You can stand there with your mouths agape and be fed with hook, line and sinker. Or you can choose to seek out the information, have conversations, choose to listen and process, choose to be open minded…
Just like choosing to bury your head in the sand is also a choice. A Florida rep recently chose to ignore evidence and reality and blame the opposition for almost dying after having an abortion. She can also afford mental healthcare but obviously chooses not to.
Avoidance is still a choice. Remaining apathetic is a choice. Remaining ignorant is a choice. Voting for a felon, for a second time, is a choice.
The thing I disagree with is the choice part. You are basically saying that people who have been brainwashed should choose to get the help needed to undo the brainwashing that convinced them that only evil people could have been brainwashed and that they are the most virtuous and righteous people to have ever lived. That just doesn’t work, that is why interventions exist.
But people don’t exist in a vacuum. You’re part of a community that’s still functioning.
You say as if everyone is straight jacket bound, hands and feet wrapped tightly, eyes blindfolded and mouth plugged. Born that way, in fact. If that were actually the case, you’d all be dead and your country would cease to exist.
You forget to think how this all starts. Everyone is born with free will. You end up in the deep end because of the first few steps you take, and you always have a choice to either stay or change yourself or others. Some choices are easier than others and I’m saying that Trump got in because people chose to be selfish or greedy or ignorant.
But we aren’t talking about everyone. Trump got less than 50%, 10 to 15% voted for him because they were greedy, and he was good for them. 35 to 40% are just to gullible. It is them I find it hard to completely blame.
