Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.

Stupid Watergate
Are we Americans just too dumb to maintain a functioning democracy? I was astonished at George W. Bush, but we followed that up with... Donald Trump???
And the Republican Party is right behind him on everything. Make no mistake, some Republicans try to establish a fall-back position, in case Trump finally crashes and burns. But there's a reason why Trump is a Republican. This is the GOP, these days.
This is the GOP after fifty years of their "Southern strategy" of deliberately wooing white racists. This is the GOP after decades of attacking education as a way of getting the ignorant to support tax cuts for the rich in every situation. This is the GOP after wooing the craziest of the crazies, just for their money and their votes.
Often, liberal Americans aren't very smart, either - not even smart enough to vote, in many cases. Liberals are still faith-based and stupidly prone to conspiracy theories - even those pushed by Vladimir Putin and the Republican Party.
Are we Americans just too dumb to maintain our democracy? No, I haven't given up - and I won't give up - but I'm really beginning to wonder.
Do you have evidence for this, Bill?
ReplyDeleteAll I need is just a humdrum of evidence... shouldn't be much to ask, I'd think. These are pretty big claims you're making over here, Bill. Big claims need big evidence, as they say. Come on, Bill. Let's see it! Heh heh...
You do realize that this is a five-year-old video, don't you, Anonymous?
ReplyDeleteAnd evidence for what? Big claims? Like what? You don't say, because you're obviously just a troll. That's why you're being so vague, huh?
Yeah, I can't take you seriously, Anonymous. Grow up.
