People have short memories. They always have, which is why history repeats itself often. I remember when I was a kid, I used to have a so-called friend who was always horrible to me in the end. I would go to his to to hang out, and then it would turn bad, and then my dad would pick me up. So finally, after like the fifth time, my dad looked and me after picking me up and asked me a simple question.
You are definitely not an idiot. And everything you said is spot on.
