Add FB and its spawn to what those television channels grind on and on about and we sure are in a mess.
The so-called “news” is calculated by the power brokers to keep the viewers in a heightened state of negativity.
It is interesting — though actually terrifying — to read about something known as the amygdala hijack. That’s when the emotional part of the brain takes over the thinking part of the brain.
The amygdala is the emotional response territory of the brain and when it is constantly under siege it can take over normal thinking and cause behaviors that can wreck all kinds of important, in-person relationships.
Pogo was right. (sigh)

"Amygdala highjack"......I believe that is the MAIN TOOL of fascists. Just watch old clips of Hitler's speeches to know that it CAN work and practically create mindless, non-thinking ZOMBIE followers. Beware America !!!!!!
