I’m sure there are tens of millions of idiots who believe what U.S. House Speaker Mark Johnson said at left.  Yet the majority of Americans understand that:

ICE is a lawless institution.

Trump consistently violates the Constitution by usurping the power that should reside in congress.

Our illegal war in Iran is endangering the entire planet, as is our war on clean energy.

Violent crime has been falling steadily since the early 1990s; Republicans taking credit for it is a lie.

Causing (some) voters to believe the lie that our elections are rigged endangers our democracy.  So is voter suppression.

Committing war crimes like the bombing of small boats off the coast of Venezuela helps to create a lawless world.

No, America Is Not Safer Under Republican Control

At left is the type of logic that can appeal only to a MAGA Trump supporter.

Ukraine is fighting …. for its life after having been invaded by a powerful war criminal.

Trump is fighting …. to stay out of prison after having attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government and raping children.

Wow. Watch Out for that Logic!

Consider the meme here, and then remember that the nine of the ten poorest states in the U.S. (Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina) are all bright red.

How do they get away with stupidity like this?

Well, there’s the bottom of the state rankings for education:

• 46. Mississippi
• 47. Kentucky
• 48. Louisiana
• 49. Arkansas
• 50. West Virginia

Do you see any correlation?
