THE CON MAN OF THE CENTURY AND THE
BRAIN-DEAD FOOLS WHO ELECTED HIM
WHO ARE THEY? HOW COULD THEY?
by J D McGrew
You may be wondering, as so many of your fellow citizens are, who are the people who voted for the candidate who had tried eight different documented ways to overthrow the U.S. government and was charged with four counts of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy against the rights of citizens, who was impeached twice, is a convicted felon, whose main business in New York was closed down by that state, who is a known liar, cheat and perpetrator of numerous frauds, and was charged and found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records? Who is now the president of these divided states and using his power to fire federal employees and replace them with carefully selected MAGA followers who will bow to his orders even though they are unconstitutional and advance his goal of achieving complete autocracy over this country, the Divided States of America. He claims he is reducing expenditures to reduce the federal debt, hoping that the negative impacts of his "big, beautiful bill," which will reduce taxes to his billionaire friends by increasing our debt by three billion dollars and driving the interest costs sky high, might not be so obvious. If that bill passes 8 to 16 million people could lose their health care.
If you want an example of a self-serving asshole, a real bastard, Trump is your man. He is so arrogant in his dastardly intentions that you would think the people who voted for him might begin to wonder how they could be such suckers. But no, these are the people who do not like facts. They like only what they want to believe, no matter how much pain and suffering their choices will cause their fellow citizens.
Doesn't it make you wonder, how could they do it? Are they so ignorant or so angry they don't care? What could they possibly see in the person who is the least capable, least knowledgeable, least ethical person to ever run for the office? Who hates the very little he knows about the Constitution, who has openly promised, in the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, to trash the democratic principles that have gotten us this far?
For our purposes here there are two kinds of people. There are those who tend to seek facts and base decisions on logic as opposed to their emotions. Such people are generally rational, acting like adults who have matured into that state, and have some awareness of, and regard for, the rights and needs of their fellow citizens.
And then we have people who appear to be adults by age and looks, but who actually are fixated more at the six-year-old tantrum-throwing spoiled brat level who must have what they want. They base their decisions on their emotions. They are "Me-First" people who will do anything to be adopted by and stay in the tribe, swallowing the tribe's unfounded beliefs and sticking with then no matter how false they are, completely surrendering all self determination and agency. Such people are desperate for connection and guidance, for a port in the storm of life. They need a home, a family, a tribe.
Rational people are independent thinkers who are not willing to suspend their capacity for logical thought and adult behavior. Emotional people tend be narcissists needing attention and inclusion. If this reminds you of someone -- Trump perhaps and his followers -- is it a surprise that those who voted for him share his personality characteristics? He is "me-first," and has demonstrated to politicians and voters that you can tell the biggest lies to yourself and the public, and people will fall for these lies if it makes them feel good. Easy to do for people who live by their emotions instead of their brains. Narcissists get what they want by any means, and do not care much about other people.
So now, as Trump is taking over the government we see him fill his cabinet with billionaires who know nothing about their portfolios they are being asked to manage. But they will figure out how to cut budgets of Medicare, social security, veterans' affairs, USAID and countless other departments that provide essential services to millions of our citizens and to others around the globe. Doing so will allow these marauders to cut their own taxes.
For their incompetence and malfeasance these voters who elected Trump should lose the right to vote, for failing to do the election homework, for choosing fake news over factual news, for looking the other way when confronted with the endless crimes of Trump, for causing harm to themselves and to the rest of us who have more sense, who pay more attention to politics, who are more independent and who use the brains we were given.
Thanks to these fellow citizens, the 51% who voted in Trump, the willfully ignorant, me-firsters, choosing to vote for the January 6 traitor who tried eight different ways to overthrow our duly elected government, who still spreads lies about that, who has been charged with various crimes, including rape, who is a misogynist, a racist, a hater of our democracy and willing to shred the Constitution, all of which is obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention, thanks for destroying our United States of America, you unamerican, anti-American voters.
