Honestly, man...I just would attempt to ignore that stuff. It makes you go nuts, I know...I've lost my mind so many times. There is nothing we can do about FOX news watchers and what they think. Social media is, in my opinion, a total cesspool. There is no way to possibly read or watch those things without thinking you have left all reality behind. During this Covid ordeal a rule had to be put in place in my house that I avoid all TV news and social media. I was too likely to snap. 

What worries me is not so much all the stupidity that gets spewed on FOX, right wing media outlets, and social media...it's that our president has real policy in place to muzzle our government in terms of letting the facts be known about this virus. Yeah, FOX news is now just a full on propaganda bureau but our actual government is now so goddamn broken there is a boot on their throat to keep them from issuing facts because the absolutely warped and idiotic president does not want the population to have any clue what is going on. 

We can't really care about the idiots out there that will believe anything Trump/FOX tell them. All we can really worry about is that people in our government, medical and science people are not silenced and/or censored. 

I mean if Trump wants to tell his followers to drink bleach and inject household disinfectant cleaning products...well...have at it. The people that know better won't do that...for all we know Pat Brown and Marc could be home guzzling Clorox and flossing with a chainsaw. Not really our business at this point.
