T.S. Eliot wrote that the world ends "not with a bang but a whimper,” but I fear our great nation is careening toward a third manner of demise: descent into lip-blubbering, self-destructive idiocy.
How did we become, in such alarming measure, so dumb? Why is the news dominated by ridiculous controversies that should not be controversial at all? When did so many of our fellow citizens become full-blown nihilists who deny even the concept of objective reality? And how must this look to the rest of the world?

I hate to tell you this, but this country has always labored on the outskirts of stupid.....Conservatives like their politicians stupid and dumb and democrats like voting in the worthless, as long as its blue. But what we have today are politicians who are AFRAID OF WHITE PEOPLE, PERIOD!! The world has seen first hand when white people become threatened, marginalized and afraid, the limits they will go through to minimize those fears are unimaginable and dangerous. When their brains validate a insurrection, validate a corrupt immoral leader such as Trump and find it okay to digest dog pills over proven vaccines....we're dealing with demonic creatures capable of anything, including genocide of certain races. I don't think this country will ever recoup from the likes of Trump and I think white people will not ever be satisfied until Jim Crow and lynchings become the norm again...they're that desperate for yesterday's norms and terrified of the future.
