What would cause someone who still hates Trump after all the lies have been revealed as lies to reconsider their views?
What breaks the spell? How do we rebuild a culture of decency and mutual respect and respect for the truth?
Whatever the answer–if it is even possible, if the weight of the stupidity, greed, and ignorance in this country does not break us–it will not be easy. It will be long and difficult.
And I am gratified to read that most folks think the Republican Convention went really well, and that polling is clearly indicating a Republican advantage.
Still, we live in a nation where people are capable of knowing the facts about Joe Biden–that he is old, senescent, creepy, dishonest, corrupt, unintelligent, and incompetent, with Harris herself being a Castro style radical who would destroy us utterly as well–and still voting for him.
What should any of us do with that fact? How to explain it? The media? Shitty educations? Fear? Complacency?
This is one of the Big Questions which is invisible to most.
I would say of Biden the same thing I said about Obama: the problem is not Biden, but that people are CAPABLE of voting for him. The problem is with the nation and its people, and it is a deep, deep problem.
