The answer to the question above seems to reside in the things that do and do not impress us.
We’re not impressed with intelligence, intellectual accomplishment, science, or truth.
We are impressed with riches (regardless of how immorally the wealth was acquired), the strength of bullies and cruelty to people who are too weak to defend themselves, lavish promises that are impossible to keep and easily debunked, and bald-faced lies.
That’s as it may be, but he’s a handsome devil.
And that girl must by proud of herself and her moral values, right?
We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.
