There’s no doubt she had bad intentions. The government is full of people with bad intentions. Taken at face value, somewhere between 40% and 60% of the US has bad intentions. Does that mean we’re almost half evil or that a lot of us are programmed horribly?

My father, born and raised in Appalachia, was born into racism. Met a black guy, he was nice to my dad. Over the years my dad liked him and considered him a friend. Years later he recounts that this guy was one of the good N’s. JFC dad, where do I start? It’s not that an entire race of people is bad; you’ve been lied to your whole life and watch news that perpetuates that lie. It’s the same overall story with an Indian guy from work who shared some of his family’s curry with him. “He’s one of the good ones…” He votes with the republicans because of “all these horrible minorities waving flags on top buildings”. He’s only ever met a couple and says they’re good. He’s not evil, he’s just been lied to his whole life and has never been exposed to enough minorities to get de-programmed. Would he throw a box of democratic votes in the river if no one was looking? His friends, neighbors, and politicians are telling him he’s going to get overrun and shot by minorities if the left keeps winning. He might. Thankfully, he’ll never be in that position, but their programming is intensely strong.
