Thanks for starting a discussion on this without all the back-and-forth arguing and political party distractions.
I, and no one else, don't know for sure what is real or fake any longer. Everything is so clouded with false data, fake information, possibly doctored photos and videos...it's just impossible to know and the ones in the "know" aren't permitted and/or willing to tell.
However, I do know that at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is we cannot be a united while being divided on personal levels. Fighting within our homes, communities, towns, states, nations, etc. It's not getting anybody anywhere in the big scheme of things.
I really wish people could focus on how to open the lines of communication for
real dialogue, problem solving and healing. I'm afraid I won't see that in my lifetime and my descendants probably won't get to experience it either.
I hope your thread gets as much attention and responses as the ones with everybody arguing ad nauseum.
