Don’t you hate it when an opinion piece states the obvious, yet

 I do not care how bad bacon is for you, it sure smells damn good when cooking.

And what has that got to do with the price of tea in China? A bunch actually.

So we, as people, love shiny things, we cannot get enough of them, but like bacon no matter how good it appears on the surface there are many things once you scratch the surface that will kill you. And as people we tend to jump head on into whatever crap lies beneath the surface and just refuse to see the crap. Once something is shiny in our eyes, well it is shiny down to its rotten core. 

And that in the biggest nutshell is why this country is falling apart at the seams. Too many people will not see the truth no matter what.

And this goes if you are Republican, Democrat, left wing, right wing, no wing, middle wing, moderate, cave dweller, or whoever,  a person will refuse to take the step back and realize that turd taste in their mouth is actually a turd. 

And yes if you are one of the above you will say everyone but you or like you falls for this, but not you. And you will look at yourself in the mirror and say not me and actually believe yourself. Now this doesn’t apply for everything, many times you do see what is below the surface, it is just when you do accept the shiny surface then that is when you cannot back away enough to realize the trouble you are causing yourself. 

And it becomes virtually impossible to walk someone back from a rotten core and the more you have gone public with it the harder it is to walk back. 

And this is a trait that we have has humans that goes back throughout the history of humanity. The problem is us Americans have found new ways to take this to new heights. 

And what exacerbates this problem is how people take advantage once you go down this rabbit hole until a person has no idea which way is up. 

And all this leads us to the obvious problem. Authoritarianism all around the world is growing and even winning because we cannot face the simple truth, we cannot admit to ourselves when we make a mistake. So basically somewhere sometime right before when all the monsters of humanity take over the planet, you will hear the word:
