I’d hit myself in the head with a two-by-four if I thought it would help make this stop.
When asked by The New York Times about Russian president Vladimir Putin’s comments about Western liberalism being “obsolete,” Trump took that to mean literally liberals living on the west coast of the United States.
“He’s sees what’s going on, I guess, if you look at what’s happening in Los Angeles, where it’s so sad to look, and what’s happening in San Francisco and a couple of other cities, which are run by an extraordinary group of liberal people,” Trump told the Times.
“I don’t know what they’re thinking,” he added. “But when you look at Los Angeles, when you look at San Francisco, when you look at some of the other cities — and not a lot, not a lot — but you don’t want it to spread.”
You realize that humanity is armed with nuclear weapons, right? If we don’t evolve mentally, eventually we’re going to be extinct. This whole life-on-earth experiment is now down to a group of famished chimpanzees locked in a cage with a giant box of nitroglycerin, half of whom think their leader is Donald Trump or one of the savage sociopaths Trump so admires.
We can’t afford to be stupider than our forebears, yet that is exactly what is happening. We’re never been dumber than we are right now. And every single time we read something like the above, we get even dumber still.
Stupidity and insanity all at once. I wonder if he wakes up at night and realizes what he said a few hours ago is nuts, or worse yet, maybe he doesn’t . How does this man face his associates, enemies and friends? Day after day the shit rolls on. He stands around with his buddies, Vladimir and KBS, and looks forward to meeting Kim, all murderers. Yuk yuk. Pass that two by four, it might help me. Is there no one can rid us of this baboon?
Did you think Trump had read a book, and would know the history of liberalism, and its role in the founding of the USA? He is not even clear what busing refers to with respect to schools and desegregation. If it is true that his supporters don’t know either, then you are right, we need some serious mental development to take place, before the whole thing goes up in flames.
Having a person of below average intelligence, zero intellectual functioning and a sociopath to boot as American Prez is decidedly sub-optimal. If he wants to deliver a nuclear strike, there is nothing to stand in his way, the Gravedigger of Democracy has seen to that.
And yes, 90% of Der Trumper’s voters are also this ignorant and spiteful. We are an anti-intellectual people, sitting on a mountain of assault weapons.
As for humanity, with its willfully negligent destruction of both the 11,000 year old stable climate and the natural world in which humanity evolved, it can only be seen as a failed species, obsessed with destruction. The evolution of its brain turned out to be its undoing, as humanity figured out how the whole physical enterprise was put together, but couldn’t understand that it shouldn’t recklessly wreck it.
I’ve long had a theory that Americans live in two worlds.Professional World is what they encounter when they are in education or at their work. Entertainment World is what they see when they turn on their TV. Professional World values expertise, knowledge, and hard work. Entertainment World values charisma, emotion, and simple strong plot lines. Donald Trump is what happens when you let Entertainment World take over politics. Eventually people forget that you actually need knowledge and competence to do the job.
Or they have it drummed into them that business people are automatically the best people for every situation. Never mind that there are human endeavors where applying business skills is wildly out of place.
