I think I get Stephen Paddock, as I watch progressives fall for same style misinformation as Hillary private email server story

The current onslaught of Sex Abuse stories is Way Too Much like the Hillary private server email story. A mob gets outraged based on stories they know little about but read in Multiple News Sites, so it must be true. With Hillary it was a population of Americans, many who did not even know what email is, believing a private server was criminal. With Weinstein et al, it's Americans not knowing that creative people, especially in Hollywood, can often be sexually off. So now the mob is condemning some of our most creative, and left leaning, entertainers, in a blacklisting campaign that does not even have as much due process as the McCarthy Hearings.  
Another horrible similarity is, the Hillary email mob mentality was fed by Hatred. 
So are these sex abuse allegation stories. I've been watching my progressive friends almost drool with joy as they tear down one wonderful performer after another.  It's staggering to watch. 

Several times past weeks I've found myself stopped in my tracks thinking, “I get Stephen Paddock.”  Not because I want to pick up a gun and kill random people, but because if you are smart in today’s America, you are probably enraged right now.    

Watching the daily flood of idiotic things done by the President makes smart people angry.  If you're someone who used to be patriotic, indeed even once served your country as a civilian or a soldier, it's hard to watch what's going on in USA right now.

Add to that living through 2016, the year of the election that produced President Treason, where you watched your neighbors and friends fall for the false stories on the internet.  Watching as those stories got “shared,” watching the growth of a mob mentality that’s not even fueled by a real mob, but by someone conducting a misinformation attack on the United States.

Watching people fall for the misinformation attack in 2016 that elected us Trump.

Now watching people fall for an eerily similar misinformation attack that is going to tear apart what is left of the left.  The coup knew how progressives would respond to stories of sex abuse on the job, all they had to do was get One Story placed in one mainstream media outlet, and they found a tool in Ronan Farrow.  For months no news editor would take that story about Harvey Weinstein and Rose McGowan but Farrow kept at it.  How long had it been since Farrow had a job, he had to sell this story.  Few persons mention that McGowan was paid $60K by some org in the UK to go to Farrow with the story in the first place, even though it was in part 2 of Farrow's story. No one mentions that McGowan has been a right wing tool during her entire movie star career. 

Once her story got into Vanity Fair a few weeks ago, this blacklisting by Tweet insanity started, and it reminds me way too much of the Hillary private email server. 
In this case the Coup got to the left by way of one "sex scandal" after another

It's so much like the Hillary email stories I want to scream.  
Instead I've lost the last few friends I had because they want to fill my head with all they've learned last few weeks about Kevin Spacey’s sex life or whatever.

Watching people I used to respect become babbling bobbleheads on a computer screen as one after another smart people fall for the misinformation and join the mob.

A mob made up of Exclamation points!!!!! and ALL CAPS POSTS and horrible things said about individuals based on one news story released out of the blue one day and then repeated so often that even people you thought were smart think it's genuine news.

So maybe Stephen Paddock just could not watch what's going on in the USA right now.  I wonder sometimes if he sat in a hotel room in Las Vegas so angry that Americans had gotten so dumb that he decided to position himself where he could kill hundreds of them, knowing statistically, many would be dumb ones.  

I wonder because of the rage I feel when I hear news stories, like today all day footage playing on a loop on Every outlet in the world of Vladimir Putin whispering into Donald Trump’s ear.  Then Donald Trump announces that in one short conversation he and Putin solved the Syrian crisis.
Then this story is in the news this morning:

ISIS retakes Albukamal after Syrian Army fails to secure city

AMN Al-Masdar News-13 hours ago

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:50 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) has regained control over the strategic border-city of Albukamal in southeast Deir ...

I'm watching this idiot who Americans elected to be president get totally manipulated by a KGB agent Russian whose so frigging smart and I'm watching my nation go down at the same time.

It's hard to be smart and watch what is going on now if you once cared about the USA.   

Luckily I'm too broke and tired to even pick up an assault rifle. 

So I blog.

especially if for whatever reason your life didn't land you around a lot of other smart people, so you rarely find anyone with whom you can even hold a conversation
