What We Can Learn from the Actions of Other Countries

It appears that Trump is running out of room in his claim that he didn’t participate in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking enterprise.  Of course, what happens after all this comes out is hard to predict.

One of the things that is so shocking about Trump supporters is illustrated in the meme here, i.e., they don’t draw inferences about what happens outside of the United States.

COVID-19 was a good example. Many Trump supporters here in the States referred to it as the “plandemic,” meaning that they believed that our government made this happen, to test how far they could push the average American before he would refuse to follow orders.

I happen to know one of these people, and I asked him, “Well, you know that there are more that 200 sovereign nations on Earth, and every one of them took precautions to slow its spread.  So are you telling me that each of these governments decided to do the exact same thing, to deliberately  spread an often-lethal disease?”

It’s just a failure to think, especially in a manner that would inject doubt into a tightly held belief system.
