Confusion

There are many things in the world today that confuse me. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. This confusion can drive many to seek “simple answers to complex questions” a quote I first heard in ‘Shadowlands’ a movie about C.S. Lewis, though the internet mostly attributes it to Scott Adams, but plagiarism is the least of that man’s sins so let us move on.

I have heard #GaslitNation podcast discuss how the lack of transparency and the way our government acts in nonsensical ways drives people to Q. I think that’s true. And I often wish I had someone to ask the questions that bother me and actually get answers. Because the people who share enough of my premises to be interested (and there are few) don’t claim to know the answers either, and that bothers me.

So here are some of my non-rhetorical questions.

  1. If as I believe, Rs have rigged electronic voting machines to alter tallies, why do they also try so hard to suppress votes?
  2. Why do Rs behave as if they want to annihilate the Democratic Party while Dems act like they want to be Rs best friends?
  3. If Russia had the ability to switch vote tallies, as the Federal government says they did, didn’t they switch any vote tallies, as the Fed government says they didn’t?
  4. Why would Merrick Garland not release the Barr memo?
