There is a point where our population will become so ignorant that the majority of Americans will be willing to elect that strange horned "Q" shaman to save them from the demons that haunt their social media pages. Sound farfetched? In 2016 the majority elected an orange headed ogre as president. Electing the "Q" shaman is just around the corner. Soon we will all be back to cowering in caves as we attempt to survive the AGE of IGNORANCE.
