Reader Scott McKie notes:
Face it — all Trump backers / voters are as morally and politically corrupt as he is.
And all Republican voters are as politically corrupt as the MAGA crowd — because, as they have continuously demonstrated: they will not, by choice, consider working politically with any Democrat, in sufficient numbers, to get anything done.
Not sure “corrupt” is the right word here, but you bring up an interesting point.
What will make the 2024 presidential election interesting, at least insofar as it appears now, is that virtually all voters who think of themselves as Republicans will vote for the GOP nominee, even if he’s a sociopath and convicted criminal.
My mother is an intelligent, well-educated woman who long ago realized that Donald Trump is one of the vilest people ever to walk the Earth. Will that deter her from voting for him?
No. Mom represents a significant cohort in our electorate that would cast her ballot for an affable dog before she’d vote for a Democrat.
There are essentially two forms of government on this planet: those that care about the wellbeing of their citizens and serve their interests and those that don’t.
Until the late 20th Century, one could have plausibly argued either way re: the United States. Since about 1980, it’s been clear that we really couldn’t care less about the sufferings of the common American.
It’s really become part of our brand. Billionaires deserve tax cuts. The middle class is shrinking, and the poor deserve a kick in the ass for not working harder.
Just nominate some well-educated businessman or city mayor — or maybe just a principled lobster fisherman.
Maine: This shouldn’t be too tough a challenge.
Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
