My Republican mother used to ask me about Greta Thunberg, “Since when has a 15-year-old girl become an expert on climate science?”
“She’s not,” I would reply, “She’s a political activist who trusts what scientists are telling us over what the oil companies say. Whose accounts on this matter do you trust, and why?”
We don’t need opinion polls regarding matters of fact.
This is why it’s incorrect to say that we do (or do not) believe in climate change. One either understands or does not understand climate science.
The same concept applies to the meme at left. Who could possibly care about the opinions of largely under-educated Americans regarding the strength of the economy under Biden or Trump.
Would you rather ask 100 economists or 100 managers of men’s apparel stores?
Americans–even the greedy pigs and the hateful idiots–are turning against Trump.
Each new day brings a new level of chaos, mayhem, economic freefall, criminality, and international humiliation for our country and its people.
We’ve run out of patience.
It’s heartening to know that the illegal and purposeless war in Iran is deeply unpopular with Trump’s base.
Maybe there’s hope.
The United States is chock full of people who support bans on things like performing transgender surgeries in schools and votes from illegal aliens.
When we come across statements like the one at left, we have to wonder about the IQ of people who find this compelling.
I’ve known house cats far smarter than this.

For those who aren’t familiar with the very bottom of late-20th Century rock music, Gene Simmons was a member of the band KISS.
IMO, the most important principle at stake here in what he said here is the freedom of speech as guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a document that used to be held in very high regard.
How much misery can Trump inflict on the American people before they remove him from office?
The United States still suffers from eligible voters who are unregistered and registered voters who do not show up at the polls.
That said, these numbers are shrinking, now that there is so much at stake: an illegal and purposeless war, environmental collapse, a criminal in the White House, etc.
If the Republicans fail in their attempt to suppress the vote, they are in deep trouble in the coming midterms.
