D. Earl Stephens tells us that about half the American voters are morons. Unfortunately, this makes sense. They are also sociopaths. They voted for somebody who takes food from the hungry, health care for the sick and closes rural hospitals and then gives money to the rich.
In the Abrahamic religions, love your neighbor is square one. The best example is the Good Samaritan story. DT voters have thrown the social gospel overboard.
Not mentioned in the commentary are the One Percent and Wall Street. They are as addicted to wealth and power more so than a heroin junkie. They see the same information on global warming as we do. They are completely incapable of doing that changes their net worth any more than $3.27. Not a single person in the One Percent objected to the billionaire tax cuts.
Here are excerpts from the commentary:
When you reckon with the fact that most Americans are morons as Trump has, and start expecting less instead of more, the way forward will seem less daunting.
We don’t have an over-thinking problem in America, we have an under-thinking one.
Anyway, Trump said more stupid things in 30 minutes, than Joe Biden has said in 30 years. Words just came out of the guy’s mouth that meant absolutely nothing. We’ve all seen him do this. On Gaza, for instance, he breathlessly said this:
“We’ll be helping with the food. We have a lot of access to food. We have a lot of food ourselves. So we’re going to get them some good strong food.”
Now, seven years later, Trump’s complete idiocy and lack of command about anything resembling policy have been completely normalized, and I have grudgingly come to understand most average Americans are just fine with it.
Now I invite you to read the whole thing.
Behind the real reason Americans voted for Trump
Sincerely,
