Liberals, unless they’re extremely unintelligent, are not “triggered” by Trump supporters who want to burn the U.S. Constitution and make a criminal lunatic the first king of America.
We may be upset that the sociopath is doing his damnedest to destroy 250 years of liberty and freedom, but “triggered” is the wrong word, as it implies an irrational, normally drug-fueled reaction to a certain stimulus.
We are doing everything in our power to prevent the end of the U.S. as it has been known over the centuries, but caving in to insanity is not part of the plan.
And, to be frank, I (age 71) don’t have the strength left in me to fight the way George Washington did in 1776 when he was 44. A big part of what I do is going to be blogging and perhaps standing with a “no kings” sign at an occasional rally.
It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.
Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.
Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.
We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.
This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
Margaret Thatcher made this comment in the 1980s, before the Internet made it possible for most people to figure out that:
- The countries that make universal healthcare and free education available to their citizens are the happiest nations and Earth, and
- The United States offers its people a great number of free services: roads, bridges, tunnels, firefighting, national defense, embassies, air traffic control, food safety, libraries, public schools, FEMA, criminal justice and corrections, law enforcement, OSHA, auto safety, disease control, the upkeep of our local, state, and national parks and beaches, animal control, space exploration, and dozens of other items.
