Humans are kinda weird. They gave a cheeky twit who doesn't give a sh** about anything or anyone but himself a bigly job. WHY?

    Because a LOT of people have a very different view of things than you do. Most of us are not so blinded by hate that we can't see the good he is doing, and has done. I think he's doing a BIG LEAGUE job, and doing it well.

    Because both major parties have been pushing hatred for so long, it was inevitable that someone would come along and run on a platform of "extreme" hatred and "tear down the government" ... and get elected.

    So is this the new template then for the future Walt? Out with the old in with new and don't look back to what used to be because it no longer is a viable option? Would we have to change the Constitution to fit reality? It is supremely depressing. SIGH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :( Of course you KNOW the unhappy face has nothing to do with thee right?

    Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that either of the major political parties have learned their lesson.
    In fact, the stupidity is expanding across the globe, as other nations see a resurgence of nationalism.

    You just put your finger on one of the most worrisome things we face in today's world  Walt! More and more FASCISM is circling the globe. Extreme right-wingers. Nationalism and Populism are just polite words for FASCISM which embodies RACISM. FASCISTS who support donjohn apparently don't ever look words up. The dictionary specifically states what FASCISM is and it includes being racist. They get all mushy squishy angry mad about Socialism and Liberalism while they manifest FASCISM and it drips out of every pore on their bodies and out of every word they utter. How can they be so unaware of what they are? Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday! :)

    Germany tends to be more "self aware", due to their past ... but even they are seeing a resurgence of nationalism.
    I was just listening to a story on NPR this morning, about how recent studies show German teachers are showing racism by giving lower grades to students with foreign names ... for the exact same test scores as students with German-sounding names.
    Some teachers admit it is a problem ... but the majority, as well as their union, say the students need to learn better German.
    Remember ... the test scores are the same, though.

    That is beyond sad as well as scary. That means they/we have learned no lessons from the past and take nothing from it that is useful or helpful or worthwhile. I do not understand why  so many folks have the desperate need to think they are "better than" and why it is so ingrained. Is it in the DNA? Why isn't every human being that way then? Thank you for your thoughtful and informative reply Walt and Happy Tuesday.

    I could be talking about Vlad Putin of Russia or Kim Jung-un of North Korea or Duterte of the Philippines or Erdogan of Turkey or Assad of Syria or any one of a number of murderous cruel vicious evil despot dictators. Let's  analyze this carefully. I am an American. Could I possibly perhaps be talking about a despot dictator US prez? I leave that to you to decide Ele. I ask the questions. Folks usually answer them. You asked me a question instead of answering what I asked. Did I answer yours? Thank you for your question and Happy Saturday.
