At left is a great example of something affecting all our lives here in the United States.
In this case, it’s that the U.S. military functioned fairly well for 250 years before an alcoholic Fox News commentator took over our national defense. Moving forwards from 1775, when the Marine Corps was formed, our nation expanded to become the most powerful country on the planet. Does anyone with a brain larger than the size of a pea believe that Pete Hegseth was needed to save us from immanent destruction?
In voting, something similar has occurred. Until 2020, when Trump falsely claimed that the election from rigged and attempted to overthrow the federal government, we had done perfectly well. Our states, charged as they are in the U.S. Constitution with the security of our elections, took us successfully through 230 years of presidential elections.
What’s changed?
Some say it’s national stupidity, and just maybe they’re right. It’s not Trump and his lying sycophants; it’s tens of millions of hateful morons.
What his remaining supporters don’t (or refuse to) understand about Trump is that items like “250 years of democracy” don’t mean a goddamn thing to him.
He’d have sold his mother to the devil for another five minutes of power.
Without doubt, Americans’ financial and physical security is important.
But what about our moral wellbeing? We’re a pariah nation, led by a criminal sociopath.
To answer the question posed here from a reader:
I do. I have a degree in physics. Before that, I graduated from high school.
Obviously, there are scientifically illiterate people all around the country who know less about the atmosphere than my neighbor’s dog, but I’m not sure how that impacts the matter.
