Morons

 Among the more disturbing trends over the past 25 years has been the movement of Moron-Americans into one political party. Given the way our elections and politics works, this means that we are always one election away from having just the stupidest fucking people in the world running things.

If there's anything more depressing than reading the thoughts of Trump voters, I don't know what it is.

Perhaps, once Trump is done erasing the New Deal framework and these morons are face to face with the fact that government programs have protected them from their own mouthbreathing idiocy, they might...might...rethink their hostility towards things like having actual doctors advise on public health or actual economists advise on trade policy. I have my doubts, but again it comes down to the fact that in the past we had morons distributed amongst both parties. Now they seem to all be gravitating towards the Trumpist Republican Party.

It's also been exasperating over the past 13 years watching people gleefully support the guy who cannot open his mouth without lying. Then, once they started supporting him, they embrace all the lies as truth.

Not sure there's a "media strategy" for dealing with that.
