If I were to make a guess about the near-term future of the United States, I would say that it will take a great many years before the people of the world stop harboring deep concerns to the effect the U.S. can be trusted again, because this nation:
Could, at any time, have another would-be dictator who may be even worse than Trump. The current president is a monster, but thank God, he’s also inept. What if we get another monster who’s actually talented?
Has become incredibly corrupt and has a congress that is essentially owned by heartless billionaires and corporations.
Has a voter base that is composed of many tens of millions of hateful morons who will believe anything if it translates to punishing everyone but straight white Christian males.
At left is the type of logic that can appeal only to a MAGA Trump supporter.
Ukraine is fighting …. for its life after having been invaded by a powerful war criminal.
Trump is fighting …. to stay out of prison after having attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government and raping children.
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.
