By the time we’re into our teen years, most of us outgrow the need to bully other kids by calling them hurtful names.
It’s pathetic that U.S. politics has degenerated to the point that one of our two candidates for the presidency thinks that deliberately mispronouncing his opponent’s name could win him votes at the polls. American voters are not children in terms of chronological development, and it’s a shame that some of us don’t seem to have grown up.
I’m quite sure Kamala Harris will not be calling Trump “Don Old” or “Fatso” or “Don the Dummy” or whatever else cruel idiots might get a chuckle out of.
FWIW, the fact that the we may re-elect a man whose constituents are mostly poorly educated is bad, but that our right-wing news media, e.g., Fox News, follows along and consistently mispronounces “KAH-mela” as “ka-MAH-la” should tell you all you need to know about their legitimacy.
The point made at left is an interesting one, but it raises the question: Would our NATO allies have participated in a useless and illegal war even if Trump hadn’t insulted, bullied, and threatened them with military invasion?
I doubt it.
This issue was solved long before our journeys into space began 65 years ago. Yes, the spherical shape of the Earth was proved 2000+ years ago by the ancient Greeks, but understanding that requires some fluency with high school math, which many Americans lack.
I’m referring to telephony, that spread around the globe in the late 19th Century. Someone in say, South Carolina, can call a friend who lives on the West Coast and ask about the sun’s position in the sky. Try to explain the discrepancy if you believe the Earth is flat.
Why would we need 24 different time zones, each 15 degrees apart?
At left we see an extremely generous viewpoint on the United States as we Americans are seen from Canada.
I have to think that a more honest statement on the topic would be, “You have a tumor, but you voted it into office. We never would have thought you were so stupid and mean.”
