This site is largely a right wing propaganda site, go against the status quo anywhere and you get flamed. The evil socialists are destroying the world, don't you know!~#~!#!
Thanks, Seeker. I've been thinking of writing my own rant bashing people for normalcy bias--but I've held my tongue so far. It makes you wonder why some people hang around conspiracy sites....

Ya know, why is it that we can see it and others can't? How long can the blame game of R versus D go on? Haven't they all had enough turns to do the right thing for us?
I am sick of the partisan arguments, when God knows they are all guilty of screwing over those whom they were elected to serve!
Hell, I have Netflix, and I hardly watch any comedy shows, just because I can come on ATS and watch the partisan idiots blame each other for all of our problems!
A Psychologist Talks About Normalcy Bias and Situational Awareness (Why Don't People Prep?)
Years ago when I was in junior high school, I had a shop teacher who would occasionally get exasperated with one of us and ask the question, "What makes a man be that way?" It’s a question I find myself asking many times...
Normalcy bias is the idea that people believe nothing bad will happen because it hasn’t happened before. It’s also known as analysis paralysis, incredulity response or the ostrich effect. Of course, that last one refers to someone behaving like an ostrich who puts its head in the sand.
