The answer to the question above seems to reside in the things that do and do not impress us.
We’re not impressed with intelligence, intellectual accomplishment, science, or truth.
We are impressed with riches (regardless of how immorally the wealth was acquired), the strength of bullies and cruelty to people who are too weak to defend themselves, lavish promises that are impossible to keep and easily debunked, and bald-faced lies.
What does the most affluent state in America need in its next governor? I’m pretty sure it not a Trump supporter.
Yes, we have traffic, which we hate. But that’s because everybody and his dog wants to be here for our economic opportunities and our natural beauty.
In general, we reject racism, ignorance, corruption, and environmental destruction.
I can’t swear that the content of the meme here is accurate; in fact, most affluent Scandinavians I run across admit that they pay higher taxes than Americans.
They claim that the attraction is that they aren’t forced to live among uneducated slobs where people are dying of treatable diseases with masses of impoverished people living on the streets.
Isn’t there something to be said for that?
Well, here’s a controversial statement.
Apparently, there are people who believe kids should be raised by dishonest imbeciles.
