In less than a month, we’re going to learn how many idiots are buying this socialism crap.

Sure, there are people who don’t know anything about the way people live in northern England, New Zealand, Costa Rica, etc.  Most of these people couldn’t find these countries on the globe.

But how many can there possibly be?

Clearly, Republicans are desperate, but isn’t asking voters to believe that the Swedes have to rely on the government for their job, salary, and food a bit over-the-top?

I got the meme here from a neighbor, but I wonder who actually wrote it.  There is a ton of propaganda on social media suggesting that we need to normalize the sociopathic criminality of the U.S. president.

It’s true that not every election is an apocalypse, but 2024 was disastrous for the U.S. democracy.

Yes, the country did not end.  But it took a giant leap towards authoritarianism.

Even that’s not the end of the world.  Democracies fail with great frequency on this planet.  I just never thought I’d be living in the biggest socio-political collapse in the last 2000 years.

In an average week, I meet quite a few travelers here from lands all around this planet.  Their most common thoughts on what’s happening here: “We simply feel sorry for you.”

In a recent post, I argued that our brains are wired in a certain way, and that we have little if any control over our values and beliefs.

German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte seem to be saying something similar here.  To take me as an example, I’m no more capable of being a Trump supporter than I am in believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.

It’s true that MAGA votes against its own financial interests.  But keep in mind that they have other more important interests, e.g., punishing immigrants and other people of color.

As suggested at left, we can easily understand why Canadians are uncomfortable living adjacent to the United States.

Of course, it’s even worse down here.  Unless you’re a hateful moron Trump supporter, you’re suffering, either:

Directly, via lousy education, poor access to healthcare, expensive cost of living, gutted government services and a poor job market, or

Indirectly, as you see a criminal conman systematically destroy the country you love.  As someone said, “It’s like being tied to a chair and forced to watch a toddler play with a loaded pistol.”

As a political outsider, I can only guess what’s going on in voters’ minds as the midterms approach.  It’s hard to imagine that Americans are willing to put up with any more of this criminal insanity than they absolutely must.

This means a blue tsunami in November, because the first step is ridding congress of the lowlife that has made this international catastrophe possible.

A British historian spent 30 years interviewing former Nazis who had committed the genocide in Germany, asking about their thoughts and beliefs, and documented 12 attributes of the rise of Hitler in the 19300s–every one of which is present in the United States today.  I hope you’ll check out the video linked above.

I have bad news for the young (32 years junior to her husband) ex-press secretary shown here (bad pic btw):

You’ve run out of people who a) are stupid enough to believe any of this, and b) even if they did believe it, many would not vote to keep Republicans in office after having enabled Trump to rape our nation.

As bad as our economy is, Democrats will make it worse?

Again, even the idiots are losing their patience with this garbage.

Here we see truck drivers spending large amounts of their own money to drive into traffic-ridden Washington D.C., flying American flags, the banner that has been usurped by the MAGA right, to protest Trump’s nonsensical war in Iran that has pushed diesel prices through the roof.

Hmmm.  I’m suspicious.

At left we see yet one more reminder of the disaster taking place in the United States.

Our Founding Fathers made huge sacrifices for us, and we’ve seen fit to elect an insane dictator to run roughshod over our beloved Constitution.

We hear that democracies do not descend into authoritarian regimes overnight.  That’s true, but what’s happened here has been quite rapid indeed.
