The author of the meme here poses an interesting question, but I honestly don’t believe it has a straightforward answer.
A couple of things are certain: a) Trump is intensely driven to become the most powerful person on Earth, one with unassailable control of the wealthiest country on Earth, and b) he’s absolutely ruthless; he’ll do anything, regardless of how grossly immoral, to achieve his goals. Wait till you see what he does to his enemies in the Justice Department unless he is, by some miracle, stopped.
To our country’s (and the world’s) great misfortune, Trump came along at a time when the average American had just lost his ability to distinguish an honest, hard-working public servant from a criminal sociopath.
As the author concludes: Here we are.
The rationale expressed at left is what most democracies use to guide their voting.
About half of Americans in our last election, however, use a completely different criterion. They elect the person who will punish everyone but white male Christians.
At left is a typical BS statement from the Trump administration.
Given that Trump’s approval rating is about 35%, it’s true that there are some Americans who do not want a Trump prosecution.
That leaves about two-thirds the nation, those who are honest and reasonably intelligent, who can’t stand the fact that the fact that this criminal sociopath might walk free.
The fact that West Virginia ranks last in education means exactly zero in terms of determining the criteria by which these people vote.
They don’t want a bunch of other things that people care about on the west coast and the northeast, e.g., honesty and the application of science to problem solving.
Give them white power and evangelical Christianity, and they elect you king.
