The Year I Lost Faith in Government—and Felt Better Almost Immediately
“History doesn’t judge societies by how long they kept believing the lie —
It judges them by when they finally stopped.
And in 2025? A lot of Americans stopped.
Not because they hated democracy; but because they loved it too much to keep pretending this was it.”

Security camera advice?
Hate to do it, but time to get them for front and back of the house. Somebody banged on our back door or the house itself three times and woke us up from a sound sleep. Apx 11:15 pm tonight. Noting for self.
Appreciate any advice on a low cost but effective, easy-install solution.
Feel free to borrow the language I used to report the video:
This entire, 100% AI-generated video was produced and is being used to spread misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda in order to deceive the American people and disrupt the US presidential election through synthetic content meant to be indistinguishable from reality.
It's being used to create hysteria and spread fear, which may even spark violence, including another coup attempt.
Seen this 100% AI-generated video ad yet? Dangerous stuff. Thought the last election was a shitestorm? This one may cause utter chaos. Many unsuspecting / naive folks are going to believe this fake stuff without question.
The video link's in the article. I watched then reported it for violating YouTube's terms of service. Twice directly from the video for different categories of misuse. A third reporting the channel itself.
