I was aghast listening to her. People can be such fools.

Just shows the strength of propaganda. We must be underestimating its influence. Social media has math models designed to KEEP you in front of your screen for long periods of time. You get slowly pushed toward like-thinking users. Then you get propagandized and even radicalized. There is little diversity of thinking. Like everything else, social media has an upside and a downside. We get wedged into groups like mask wearers and non-mask wearers.
