What changed the world forever in 2016 and set Trump’s sociopathic criminality loose on this planet was Hillary Clinton’s flippant remark to the effect that Trump supporters were “deplorable” human beings (see below).
Guess what? Nobody wants to be told that they are wrong, stupid, or despicable. Most of us learned this somewhere along the line, and one would have hoped that her Wellesley College / Yale University education would have clued her into this important fact.
Human civilization would be in a completely different place today had she simply said, “I will be a president for all Americans, regardless of their wealth, physical and mental health, ideology, or level of education.”
Thought I’d repost this.
Now’s a good time for us all to be a bit brighter, kinder, and more enlightened than we’ve ever been in the past.
H. L. Mencken said: no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. And that was 100 years ago, so now this is true in spades.
Having said that, there is a limit, and we just may be approaching it, as we see at left.
People are starting to figure this out.
A reader sent me this meme and adds: It’s funny how rich people always send you the invoice.
It’s always struck me that exporting our hate and stupidity to other planets is a terrible idea. Given all our wonderful resources, if we can’t figure out how to take care of ourselves, extinction is the only option.
