there's a trick with stopping the fake news - it has to be reported. on all the posts on FB, there's a menu of things you can do with the post, like save it, stop seeing things like it - and report it. if you report it, i believe one of the options is "this is fake news," or something like that.

for a long time, i've been politically ignorant. the government really wasn't a threat to me personally at all, so i'd joke about it, and vote for third party candidates. i came out of my shell in the early 2000s with GWBush, but then it was back to 'safe' again. the fact that i'm all the way out, realising i need to fight for things, do my part to make people aware, and pester the crap out of my Republican senator to listen (he won't, he doesn't; but i tried) tells me this is serious, and can have a serious impact on my future. and it's scary out there, actually.

sorry about that. i'm good now. thanks for reading though.
