It’s the 77th birthday of actor James Woods (pictured here). Woods is an ardent Trump supporter, which raises the question: Why are there so few celebrities at the “MAGA end” of the political spectrum?
Though I can only speculate, I would submit the following. The top actors and great performers in the other art forms:
• Need a great deal of sensitivity and nuance in their thought and behavior.
• Travel extensively, bringing them into contact with people from hundreds of different cultures.
• Need to get along well with others, which tends to weed mean and hateful people.
Of there, there are demographics that are highly correlated to support for Trump, among them country music fans, gun dealers, evangelical Christians, trades-people in rural parts of America, and the uber-rich.
Is our civilization’s dependence on oil “not going to change?”
Obviously, Big Oil wants to keep the status quo in place, regardless of the environmental damage it’s doing to every living creature on this planet. And the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to make sure this assault against all life forms endures in perpetuity.
But this won’t work. It may be true that the United States is rapidly transforming itself into a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and the other 50+ sovereign nations on this planet. But the rest of the developed world is working hard to decarbonize its energy and transportation sectors so as to prevent environmental collapse.
Hillsdale “College” writes:Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.
I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.
White Nationalists Want to Tell You What the Constitution Means
Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.
When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
