It’s “Truly Remarkable”
What I find most remarkable is how stupid and gullible the average American is.
It wasn’t always like this.

Offended By Trump Flags?
My personal reaction to Trump flags is more of pity than offense. Life is tough enough without being deprived of a moral compass and even a meager level of intelligence.
In any case, we see such displays in ever-decreasing numbers, as Trump’s approval rating continues to fall, due to the president’s cognitive decline and brazen criminality.
Doubling Down
One of the many unique and disgusting features of today’s GOP is that they don’t back down when they make a mistake, regardless of how obvious and indefensible that mistake may be.

Nationalism
To paraphrase the late American historian Howard Zinn:
If you’re, say, Norway, and you don’t go around the world starting wars, patriotism and a sense of national pride is not a problem. If you’re the United States, with your imperialism and incredible military might, it’s a huge problem.
At left we see the ideas of two other historian/philosophers on the subject.
She’s “Low IQ”
One has to wonder how much more gas Trump has in the tank when he calls those who disapprove of him (especially blacks and women) “low IQ.”
Aren’t we approaching a point when this type of stupidity will cease to be effective?
There must be a bottom of the pit we’ve fallen into.
Sharia Law
Does Sharia Law pose an actual threat to Americans? Are we on a path to chopping off the hands of shoplifters? Passing laws that concern what people can and cannot eat? Polygamy? Forcing women to wear the hijab?
Maybe.
Or maybe this congressman is a loudmouth asshole whose constituents are morons.
Another Thought on Tucker Carlson
Carlson’s about-face on Trump is huge, as it signals that public intellectuals who wish to be taken seriously at this point cannot support the president, as his mental condition deteriorates and his criminality becomes ever more brazen.
In America, We Love S***
There is nothing Trump could say, regardless of how laughably absurd, that would make his base question his sanity, for example:
I would have put a man on the moon long before Kennedy.
Obama (or Biden or Hillary Clinton) is the reason we haven’t cured cancer.
American idiots have a limitless appetite for whatever crap spews forth from this conman’s mouth.

Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson has made a huge public apology for having supported the psychotic in the White House, Donald Trump. It’s all over the news and will probably remain so for the next few days. But what made it happen? What does it mean?
Most of the pundits say it’s disingenuous; Carlson saw Trump falling apart in terms of his approval rating, and he decided not to go down with the ship.
I suppose I agree. While Fox News and Newsmax will continue to support Trump long after he’s removed from office, indicted for treason, tried, convicted, and incarcerated, Carlson (fired by Fox News for reasons that were never made clear), has decades of his political life ahead of him, and has chosen to run away so as to be able to fight another day.
Not All Trump Supporters Are Idiots
What Robert De Niro says here is largely correct; most of Trump’s supporters are intellectually inferior to the U.S. population at large.
This is not universally true, however. There are plenty of brilliant minds who will stand behind him to the very end. These are people with profound moral defects.
Imagine loving money so much that, in order to make your next billion dollars, you approve of a criminal sociopath who:
• Launches a useless and illegal war that cripples the American economy, committing a vast array of war crimes in the process.
• Gets away with attempting to overthrow the U.S. federal government.
• Cuts healthcare from tens of millions of our citizens.
• Attacks the U.S. educational system.
• Removes dozens of environmental regulations.
• Supports Big Oil by destroying the clean energy industry.
• Kills vaccine requirements, paving the way for the next pandemic.
• Works to insert Christianity into our schools.
• Allows homeless veterans to die of treatable diseases.
This is moral bankruptcy.
