2. Out of every 100 people, 42 are utter morons

I suppose there are some who live under a rock, but that's a choice and I have no respect for those who won't keep informed during times like this.

12. If you watch Fox "News" all the time

you are being brainwashed on a daily basis. Of course, if you watch Fox “News” all the time you are probably an idiot in the first place. OTOH, people are commenting all the time here how they have an otherwise intelligent friend who still supports tRump. Odds are pretty good they watch Fox all day and consider themselves “well informed”.

3. I've never believed these polls

I just can’t force myself to believe that many people are that fucking crazy. I’ve tried!

What I will believe is that that many people are so totally uninterested in Politics that they don’t have a clue about what’s really happening. I know Democrats who don’t know what’s going on. They can’t be bothered. I’m the weird one in my Democratic friends’ circles, just because I know more than just the current headlines.

I know a great many people stick their heads in the sand, but even then I find it hard to believe.

11. He acknowledged that Covid-19 was not going to miraculously go away.

And then he pretended that he was going to do something about it. And a whole bunch of Americans said, "This time it will be different! This time he's not lying. He'll rise to the occasion. 🤩"



But it wasn't different, and he was lying, and he didn't rise anywhere... at all.

What's that saying? "Fool me 30,000 times, shame on you."

How many lies has he told? We either have to contact the Guinness Book people or the Burlington Liars' Club.

Of course, if his doorknob licking cult believes they should inject Lysol, they'll believe anything.
