    Truck exhaust blows away. They can’t see it anymore. Contrails linger for a while. They can see that.

    They can see planes. They can’t see inside planes. Therefore, they can imagine anything they want inside because they can’t verify it themselves.

    The things they can’t see anymore are gone. The things they can’t see into contain the worst possible scenario.

    And that litter box in schools things for the kid identifying as a cat? The story is ALWAYS about someone else’s schools. They can picture a different school. They can imagine the worst scenario in there.

    This whole political ideology is an exercise in failed object permanence.
