Civil war is a real concern. Freedom and safety are illusions. The people spoke and I heard them loud and clear. I was given an IQ test once and was treated pretty special. Only missed one question but do not know my score. I tested out of high school by 7th grade but did not complete college so I'm not very educated in the typical sense. I learn faster than average but I think the meds and illness have taken their toll on this superpower. I've been called stupid and treated like a moron by many but I do not buy into this assumption and my history would indicate it's an erroneous allegation based on zero fact. You can call me uneducated but my ability to learn is higher than average objectively speaking and from what I've been told. Doesn't do me much good. Studies show that less intelligent people are more productive by end of life so what does it even matter in the long run.

Thanks for your service. My husband is a vet as well. And he's rather brilliant. He was a helicopter mechanic in the military. A Crew Cheif.
