What Robert De Niro says here is largely correct; most of Trump’s supporters are intellectually inferior to the U.S. population at large.
This is not universally true, however. There are plenty of brilliant minds who will stand behind him to the very end. These people with profound moral defects.
Imagine loving money so much that, in order to make your next billion dollars, you approve of a criminal sociopath who:
• Launches a useless and illegal war that cripples the American economy, committing a vast array of war crimes in the process.
• Gets away with attempting to overthrow the U.S. federal government.
• Cuts healthcare from tens of millions of our citizens.
• Attacks the U.S. educational system.
• Removes dozens of environmental regulations.
• Supports Big Oil by destroying the clean energy industry.
• Kills vaccine requirements, paving the way for the next pandemic.
• Works to insert Christianity into our schools.
• Allows homeless veterans to die of treatable diseases.
This is moral bankruptcy.
Tucker Carlson has made a huge public apology for having supported the psychotic in the White House, Donald Trump. It’s all over the news and will probably remain so for the next few days. But what made it happened? What does it mean?
Most of the pundits say it’s disingenuous; Carlson saw Trump falling apart in terms of his approval rating, and he decided not to go down with the ship.
I suppose I agree. While Fox News and Newsmax will continue to support Trump long after he’s removed from office, indicted for treason, tried, convicted, and incarcerated, Carlson (fired by Fox News for reasons that were never made clear), has decades of his political life ahead of him, and has chosen to run away so as to be able to fight another day.
Until Trump came along, I would have said that the Twain quote here was intended as humor.
Now we can see how true it is, as we have an entire voting bloc rooted in ignorance and confidence.
The reader who sent me the meme here writes: No problem. I’d also feel safer that no liberal crazy would bust in and harm me.
I wonder how many people have been injured at polling places in the 250-year history of the United States, and I’d be particularly curious as to how many were hurt by liberals.
As is the custom of the day, we’re fabricating data to scare idiots into demanding solutions to problems that don’t exist. Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent, and among undocumented aliens it’s almost zero, since they don’t have the ID to get on the voting rolls in the first place.
