How Stupid Do You Have To Be

@whowasthatmaskedman Those are all powerful motivators. We shall see to what extent hate and fear wins.

@whowasthatmaskedman You nailed it with 'apathy.' And it's hard to watch.

@Ynotisay Yes...

@MistyCee
A distinction without a difference, for those who continue to support the USA as it has always existed, but more importantly, only a minority of the people who voted for him, want the USA to cease existing as it always has.

In the meanwhile, I continue to exercise my right to comment, just as I would by sending a letter to the Board of a company that I invest in, if I felt the CEO is on path to destroy it.

@Northwest You have every right to comment as do I, but I think you're underestimating the number of people wanting to change the country.

Sure, not all of them want primarily to "own the libs", make America white again, or turn it into a Christian nation, but there are an awful lot of them, and when you add in the amoral folks who want tax breaks and or to get away with fraud and lying like Trump does, it's probably close to 70 million.

And that's not even counting the leftist revolutionaries, communists, socialists, LBGT groomer types, and other folks who might see the chaos as a away to create the kind of change they want.

Bizarre as it is, some of those folks did vote for Trump.

@MistyCee
Not at all, but I find some comfort knowing that I'm protected behind the Western Wall. If the rest of the country wants to go all-White, they're in for a rude awakening. Bizarre as it is, I don't give a fuck if they vote for Trump, and I have every right to insist that it's "my" way, or the highway. I am tired of going high, when they go low.

@trollslayer Obviously a rhetorical question.

@trollslayer I never thought of that. They do use real lead, don't they?

@LordShadowfire Yes. And they resist regulations to remove lead from bullets and fishing weights.

@LordShadowfire I remember a study about a reduction in inner-city violent crime during the 1990s that they attributed to removal of lead from gasoline. The hypothesis was that kids growing up in inner cities had higher lead exposure from gasoline, and that led to violent and unstable behavior. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27067615
