" I don't pay attention to politics " [View all]

Reminded this past week that we are in a bubble here. I spoke with three non maggots who I had thought were paying attention only to find out they were clueless about what trump and the republicans are doing. At this point in time I find that astounding and scary. Please let people know about this site and other fact based sites.
