During the Biden presidency, Trump had four long years to prepare his attacks on the U.S. government and the people it served. How to destroy public education, healthcare, rule of law, relations with allies, and environmental regulation. How to further enrich himself and his billionaire donors at the expense of the American people.
As suggested at left, part of the reason for his success thus far is that he sprang all these traps in a matter of less than two months from the moment he took office, using the element of surprise to overwhelm us.
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?
Republican Operatives Are Tenacious as Messaging–And Truth Has No Bearing on It
Good question here at left.
To me, it depends.
If the person seems intelligent enough to be able to hold a thought in his head that opposes his current beliefs, I’d actively encourage the discussion. Otherwise, I’m out. No need to raising someone’s temper for no reason or gain.
To the jackass who sent me the meme here: What about the 5 million Americans who moved to Canada? What about the steady flow of Americans expatriating to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Iceland and Northern Europe?
My wife and I have two kids and a grandchild in the States, and we have a gaggle of medicos to address the various health conditions associated with aging. If that weren’t the case, I’d be writing this from Stockholm or Aukland.
I wouldn’t be looking for a “utopia,” just an escape from the frustration, anger, and sadness that I feel every day, as I watch the country I love deteriorate into authoritarianism.
