I just met an interesting fellow who introduced himself as “Marc Pierre,” with a readily discernable French accent. When I asked if he was in fact French, his face lit up, as if to say, “How could you have possibly known that?” Apparently, he hadn’t expected too much from us provincials.
He’s an international accountant hailing originally from the south of France, but one who’s also lived in the UAE and Mauritius, only to wind up in our small town here in Central California, where, to be honest, perhaps one in fifty of us could find Mauritius on a globe.
When the conversation turned to politics, he told me what I’ve heard almost exclusively from well educated and well traveled professionals: they are astonished at what has become of the United States, and terrified with what it means for the world as a whole.
His main issue is that Trump clearly has no clue as to what he is doing, and about half of Americans couldn’t care less. They’re fine on the consequences of their president’s making uninformed decisions on things like NATO, tariffs, and the like that are wreaking economic mayhem on themselves and on nations around the globe.
“He has no idea what he’s talking about. Doesn’t that scare you?”
Ah, yes. Indeed it does. Thanks for pointing that out.
As we look at the rankings of the 50 states in terms of education, we notice immediately that the states at the bottom still love Trump, even as his approval ratings have plummeted to 34% due to his sociopathic criminality and his clear intent to remain in office, just like his heroes in Russia, China, Turkey, Hungary, and another 40+ nations around the globe.
From this, we can infer one of the two diametrically opposite things:
1) College cranks out liberals, because it’s their mission to build of the population of woke liberal sissies who will steadily force our nation into socialism, the acceptance of gays and blacks, and the punishing of the wealthy to enrich the poor.
2) Educated people will call out blatant lies, e.g., that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump by massive voter fraud, Trump is innocent of raping children, that bombing Iran is justified because of their threat to attack us first, and that the United States is not rapidly being refashioned into an authoritarian regime.
I’m sure this is the case in all 50 states.
In the U.S., you could no more get a conviction under these circumstances than you could fly to the moon on a surfboard.
Bertrand Russell has been dead for more than half a century, as so we can only speculate as to what he’d have to say about the Trump MAGA base.
If these people are anything, they’re cock-sure that God sent Trump to save our country from ruination by the radical left.
