    …And to think this guy has half the vote. What a place we live in. I wish we cared more about education. If people were smarter, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

      If 20 or more years ago, a writer wanted to write a book about USA sliding to religious dictatorship or fascism, they would create this extremely clever, very charismatic machiavellian genius.

      Instead, we have a bumbling buffoon who probably can’t tie his shoes in the morning, and half the people seem to worship him like a god.

      If people were smarter you wouldn’t have Marijuana classified as schedule 1 and you would actually have a healthcare and not some for profit private insurance scam instead.

      Remember that half is asleep since they can’t stand anyone or anything woke.

      Wasn’t that long ago that we had two candidates in evident cognitive decline, and we still would except for these embarrassing incidents.
