The only reason he was able to raise more that $17.00 is because of the fact that slightly less than half the country is absolutely bat shit crazy and stupid. Not uniformed, not ignorant, stupid. Recently it was reported that 70% of Republicans thought the Presidential election was unfair. These are the same morons who consider a public health emergency requiring us all to wear masks and keep our distance a violation of their liberty. As a favorite old prof of mine once said, "They don't know anything. They don't want to know anything and they're proud of their ignorance."

A political system that places the opinions of such people on equal footing with the more enlightened is a system I cannot help but condemn. And that's the system we have. And it's not going to get better because the people aren't going to get better.
