Not many movies are made on people getting hit by lightning. Perception beats stats and facts.

yes, feels and vibes beat rationality and science.

Is it any surprise the US is backsliding?

Can't tell if it's backsliding or reverting to the mean :(

probably the same thing, but mine has moral judgment.
