If acres of farmland and desert could vote, the author of the meme here would have a point. But fortunately for us all, that’s not the case.

To a large degree, the nation’s electorate is composed of well educated, affluent people in the northeast and along the Pacific coast.

Another point to be made is that no one is telling you how to live.  Anything you want to believe, regardless of how asinine, is fine with us progressives.  Anything you want to do, as long as it’s legal and conforms to the Constitution, is also fine.

How about a little honesty here?

What about all the school teachers, college professors, physicians, EMT specialists, scientists, intellectuals, voracious readers, authors, poets, economists, historians, followers of Jesus, rabbis, Buddhists, social workers, therapists, community organizers, wellness professionals, book publishers, artists, actors, musicians, firefighters, urban professionals, judges, and lawyers?

What does the president do when he’s not inventing new ways to divide the American people and committing atrocities around the world?

I honestly don’t know.

I did; I was eight years old.

What I remember most about it was that my (classical) piano teacher was quite disappointed with me that I would lower myself to such garbage.

No.  Trump will be remembered for his criminal psychosis for as long as human civilization remains on this planet.

There is no evidence that any of the tens of millions of protesters in the U.S. has been paid for doing so.

There is plenty of evidence that the people who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th and injured and killed our law enforcement officials did, in fact, receive the financial support of the U.S. president.

In response to the meme here, a reader notes: Anika Sweetland isn’t a climate scientist. There are only about a half dozen climate scientists alive that are still publishing who question AGW (anthropogenic global warming).

Exactly.  If you are honestly interested in learning about climate science, what’s the problem with asking a climate scientist?

I had a fabulous piano teacher when I was a kid, but it never occurred to me to ask her what she thought about the science I was learning at school.

Two points:

1) People have a right to express their feelings.  We commonly hear people say that celebrities shouldn’t share their political beliefs with their fans.  Bullcrap.  Reread the First Amendment.

2) You may not be aware (because NBC edited it out of their Olympics coverage) that an entire stadium of people booed JD Vance when he led the US contingent into the arena during the opening ceremony.

The Trump administration is anathema to the rest of the world (regardless of what you may have been told).

 

At left is a post from a Facebook group on climate change, to which I replied:

I don’t have a “belief,” because the word is (properly) used in conjunction with opinions or issues of faith. For example, I believe that Renoir was the greatest artist of all time.  I don’t believe in the gods of Norse mythology.

The people who study global warming, like medicine, astrophysics, and the rest, are scientists. They are the only reliable source of information on their respective subjects. It doesn’t matter what baseball coaches and pastry chefs believe.

I have bad news for these Trump supporters: there are nowhere near 77 million of these people, given that Trump’s approval rating is now in the mid-30s and falling.
