Key Points
- The presidential campaign of Donald Trump said it raised a record $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after his criminal hush money case conviction in New York.
- Trump was found guilty by a Manhattan Supreme Court jury of falsifying business records related to his scheme with Michael Cohen to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
- The Republican is set to face President Joe Biden in November’s election, in a rematch of their 2020 contest for the White House.
Why are some of you Americans so fucking dumb and why is it infectious?
The GOP has been fighting a war against our educational system for about 70+ years. Add to that the fact that most of these people have been voting R for generations, so it’s basically like a religion to them.
There’s also the news networks that feed them the bullshit they’ve been brainwashed into wanting to believe.
Add it all together and you get yourself a cult.
Populism infects the world every century. It’s a simmering, low level infection until the vaccine (horrors of war) wears off, and Populism turns into fascism and millions of young men are sacrificed to push the infection back to the brink yet again.
The only cure is education, and giving people the tools for a better and brighter future where they have the sense that they have everything to lose should they regress.
Honestly, I still wonder if I am having a really long bad dream. It just doesn’t add up. In the past elections have been close. This fucking asshole is despised by every democrat and a good deal of ex-republicans but he still is ahead in the polls. How does that square up?
The polls are absolute bullshit.
