schizophrenics are the canary in the coal mine for us right now.
Government is going out of control, reaching into everything.
Schizoids will crack first.

The hatred and division of the Civil War divided people on a regional basis for the most part. This time, the division is on a political / cultural basis. Now it is truly neighbor against neighbor far more than the last civil war. It’s going to be ugly and for a long time.
