What A Fool Believes

[NanceGreggs]

What a fool believes is that Donald Trump, who has outsourced the manufacture of all of his name-brand merchandise and hotel accouterments to low-wage countries, is the least bit interested in “bringing jobs back to America”.

What a fool believes is that a man who has been caught in lie after lie is somehow trustworthy, and should be taken at his word.

What a fool believes is that a man whose ties to Russia, while they were seeking to influence our election, are all completely innocent and require no explanation.

What a fool believes is that their coal industry jobs are coming back any day now – because Donald Trump said so.

What a fool believes is that a man who goes ballistic over an SNL sketch is clear-headed enough to have access to the nuclear codes.

What a fool believes is that a man who accused the former President of the United States of a crime – without offering a scintilla of evidence – is worthy of sitting in the Oval Office.

What a fool believes is that an administration that wants to take their affordable healthcare away, while giving tax-breaks to the wealthy, is “on their side”.

What a fool believes is that a man who spends his time “tweeting” inane remarks in the middle of the night is capable of responsibly commanding our military.

What a fool believes is that incoherent speeches, and totally incomprehensible statements, are the mark of an intelligent leader.

What a fool believes is what the pastor of his church told him to believe – that a self-proclaimed, bigoted, racist “pussy-grabber” was endorsed by God himself to lead a nation.

What a fool believes is what they see on FOX-News, what they hear from Rush Limbaugh, what they read from Alex Jones – notwithstanding all evidence to the contrary.

What a fool believes is that a proven flim-flam man is a suitable POTUS, and that he is truly concerned with their concerns.

What a fool believes about Donald Trump is beyond mind-boggling. It has surpassed blind faith and now borders on insanity.

Support for the current administration is no longer a matter of blind faith – it is a matter of Jonestown-like cultism.

The best we can hope for is that the kool-aid proves fatal – and I am optimistic that it will eventually prove to be exactly that.

1. My fear is that the symptoms of the poisoning won't...

... manifest soon enough for people to wake up and look for an antidote in time.

2. The poisoned are seldom silent ...

... once they realize they have no longer have anything more to lose.

4. Ahhh, Did you have to do that?

I hate that fucking song, for some reason. Maybe because it was inescapable during the years when i was stuck wearing awkward, ill fitting suits and dancing nervously with girls a foot taller than me, at someone's Bar Mitzvah.


Now it is stuck in my head. Earworm!


What to cleanse the mental palate? Perhaps a timeless paean to skepticism, and Andy Kaufman.

And no, Michael Stipe is not a moon landing denialist.

5. Great post. These are all excellent points, especially this one:

What a fool believes is that a man who goes ballistic over an SNL sketch is clear-headed enough to have access to the nuclear codes.
