The author of meme asks a very good question–one I would love to have answered before I check out of here.

If you surveyed everyone who voted against Trump, I think you’ve find three prevalent responses:

• Trump has a very close connection Putin and the Russian oligarchs from which he’s profiting handsomely.

• Trump loves to create outrage. He doesn’t particularly care what people are saying about him, as long as he’s in the news. (I didn’t believe this until I saw his picks for key cabinet posts.)

• Trump’s sociopathic nature commands him to make life miserable for everyone except his supporters, i.e., people who can do something for him. Since Europeans don’t have any direct effect on U.S. politics, why should be a damn what they think?

Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.

But what is that number, roughly?

After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.

A reader asks: Can I get the scare tactic for next cycle? I want to get a head start on the memes.

Ha! Exactly.

Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.

This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.

What’s next?
