Trump’s level of intelligence is irrelevant to the damage he’s inflicting on American society and humankind as a whole.
OK, he’s smart enough to have pulled off, so far at least, the greatest con in world history, but his defining characteristic has nothing to do with his IQ. It lies in his singular ability to tell bald-faced lies that are eagerly accepted by large swaths of American voters.
In November, tens of millions of people will go to the polls and cast their ballots for a man who has convinced them that the 2020 election was rigged against him, that the country’s problems stem from the radical left, and that he is the only person on Earth who can fix those problems, even though he is being unfairly prosecuted by the Deep State and woke liberals.
IMO, there is no antidote for this poison, no cure for this disease. It’s something that needs simply to run its course, like a case of the flu.
Trying to have a rational discussion with people who think this way is like trying to teach your dog to play the violin.
Thomas Paine put it better (see right).
Whoa. Let’s take a step back. Is it really either A or B?
You could on the side of the morons, those incapable of any level of critical thinking, like the author of the meme here.
The United States seems set on propelling itself backwards.
Maybe, as they say, “Hell has a special place reserved in it” for people like Thom Tillis, Republican Senator from North Carolina, who enabled Trump to rape and destroy the United States.
That was until it became clear to Tillis that he could jump ship, write a scathing book about the president, get all over mainstream news promoting it, and go on to enjoy another chapter of political success.
That we Americans are so stupid that we accept this blatant hypocrisy and criminality is sad proof that we’re not the people we were 20 years ago. Maybe what many people are saying are correct: we deserved what we got.
