Speaking of people who were wrong last time
It's pretty damned clear (and yes, count me among those who is surprised) that the 4 in 10 Americans who put Donnie in the White House are going to show up at the polls and vote for these knuckle-draggers again. I didn't think that was possible. Back in college I had a history prof who used to like to say, "If you want to discredit the Right, give them the floor." I confess I had too much faith in the American People. Despite my lifelong experience living among them, I still believed they were educable, if hit sufficiently in the head with a two-by-four. Drumpf looked to me to be the two-by-four which might awaken them.
People here spent months telling you that you were wrong about all those things. And you were. And not only were you wrong about what they would do, you're wrong about why.
It's not that they need to be educated, or that they need to be awakened. They know everything you want them to, and that's what they want. Trump says he will blow up the institutions and that's what they want. Trump says he will punish "the elites" and that's what they want. Trump says he will make life harder for immigrants and THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT!
As long as people believe it's an education problem, they're going to keep fighting the wrong fight.
