View MoreCOPIED from a Friend I will put myself in the brainwashing has been phenomenally successful camp. I truly believed that we had raised our children to be god-fearing, patriotic, critical thinking citizens. All through their primary and secondary school years they were in sports, they were challenged to justify their positions, and they were taught the Bible, and the Constitution. Both however received phones relatively early in their young lives. Not so much out of largess but as a convenience and a safety measure to their travels for sports. Even though we checked social media and we constantly cautioned our children regarding what they posted would live forever; what we did not recognize was what they were consuming. As they have come into young adulthood and we have experienced their political positions over the last two years it has become terribly obvious that after they left our home and probably before their views had diverged far from what we tried to teach them. Having given do consideration and performed at least a modicum of research I am thoroughly convinced that the enemies of freedom and liberty and most of all individualism found their greatest dream in the social media platforms that are technologists built. What had taken our enemies decades to accomplish through infiltration of the college education systems and media could be accelerated exponentially via social media. My children appear to have been captured all too thoroughly by the TDS. Worse they do not see the dichotomy between the life that they have lived and the fruits of their parents labor they have experienced; in the political collectivist and redistributionist positions they now claim to hold. These were not positions that our children were taught within their home. Our choice of school system and community was careful and was largely based upon a affluent, conservative, and education focused community and school system. We truly believed the metrics supported our decision that the community we chose met our criteria. My wife and many others expended many hours in the school system in voluntary support of the education system. We really did not see degradation until the early 2000s. The degradation in the school systems educational approach and standards was subtle from our perspective. I am confident however that the far greater impact was social media. And it is not just our youth. I don't do the major social media platforms but my wife does. She has now had to unfriend local acquaintances due to their TDS post calling for the canceling of anyone who had supported President Trump. In the absence of an event which would cause Americans to rally around their constitution I fear the nation is lost. At least the nation that actually aspired to attain the unattainable ideals within the Constitution of the United States of America. There are far too many of our citizens who simply do not have an understanding nor do they care what the founding principles of this nation were. They will however believe whatever they are fed by the algorithms of the social media platforms. They will gladly allow themselves to be manipulated and controlled for the endorphin hit that they get from a " like ". While some of us in the United States would scoffed at China's social media credit system, we did not recognize that our enemies were functionally getting us to do the same thing to ourselves. We have been attacked, we should be rallying around our nation's most basic ideals and principles. Instead we have some of the most powerful and wealthy businesses and individuals in our nation who only exist because of the freedom and opportunity that was once America, having now turned on that which permitted them to come into existence and grow and seek to destroy that freedom and opportunity. I found nothing so offensive on January 6th than to see the elected representatives of the people cowering from those who they serve. I do not know of a single representative or senator who went out to address the crowd prior to the breach of the capital. They cowered within their chamber unable to complete the simple task of ensuring equal protection before the law for all citizens. All but a few all too happy to put a final stamp on a questionable election while tens of thousands of their masters called for them to protect the principles of the nation. To add insult to injury they reconvened in the dead of night like thieves sneaking through the community to steal from their neighbors.
