She's a psychopath and everyone believes her.

She's now in a runoff.

There's a solar event going on, and communications will be flaky for a bit.

If they would just admit they are racists, and LOVE HIM for the racism, I could at least generate about 1 or 2 % respect for them for telling the truth.

But they CANNOT do that. They just go along with the idiotic talking points, which are about a mile wide and 1 millimeter deep.

11. To me, it still begs the question of why there are so many 'uneducated, insecure, angry' fellow citizens.

What are the root causes? One may be that things change at a rapid rate now (e.g., Toffler's book "Future Shock" from the 1970s). Many people cannot cope with change and feel left behind and are thus resentful.

14. Thank Ronald Regan

Long before he became president, Reagan would fume about "long-haired hippy" student radicals. He blamed them for the loss in Vietnam. His solution? Raise the cost of tuition in universities so that a proper education became unaffordable for most people. He made that policy nationwide after he became president.

The result is a nation populated with morons who believe Joe Rogan, Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson must know things because they talk into a microphone. You're screwed.

12. They're dumb as fuck. Please stop trying to rationalise them.

They go to a Fox church and kneel at the alter of a false, stupid fucking "god" while failing to reason. They don't understand reality. They can't comprehend anything beyond what social media tells them. They lack the ability to think beyond what they're told by their chosen entity. They have no redeeming quality, they add nothing good to the world.

Just deal with the fact that they're the dumbest fucking idiots that their shitbag parents could breed and our moronic society could raise. That's it, that's all.
