re: #11 Dr Lizardo

I posted this in the downstairs thread, and it sums up my point of view as best I can.

And from what I can see in the Tweets at the top of the story, there’s a whole lotta people who will simply never part with their illusions - or more, appropriately, delusions.

It’s a matter of identity. How these people answer the question, “Who are you?”

This identity is wrapped up in the American theology and so it cannot be questioned. To do so risks becoming even more unmoored from a world they don’t understand.
