Trump: Don’t Worry, Not Even Your Base Expects Anything of Substance from You
If I were Trump, I wouldn’t be too worried about the meme here. In particular, his voters expect exactly zero from him in terms of things like healthcare, education, job growth, pandemic response, or any other government program that might improve the wellbeing of the American people.
Consider Trump’s claim that he’s going to have law enforcement and/or military personnel driving around through every U.S. city and town, rounding up illegal aliens for mass deportation. Do even the very dullest and most hateful of his supporters think that’s ever going to happen?
The only thing of importance on the campaign trail is keeping up the empty rhetoric and bald-faced lies about the crime rate and the economy. It connects to people of such little intellectual horsepower that they will believe anything you say, regardless of how obviously false.
The meme here is clearly targeted to the MAGA base, in an effort to make these folks angry about an issue that has no basis in fact and certainly poses no threat to our country.
The issue isn’t IQ; he’s probably of moderate intelligence.
The meme here came from an ill-informed reader.
From Alef Aeronautics: (Our company has) introduced the Alef Model A, a futuristic flying car priced at $300,000, promising production by 2025.
A few points:
The answer to the question posed here hasn’t changed since the president of one of the major news networks commented on Donald Trump shortly after the future president came onto the American political scene in 2015: “I know he’s terrible for the United States, but, given our ratings and profits, he’s terrific for us!”
The people with the banner here remind me of something Socrates said 2300 years ago:
Insofar as science is a description of “what works, and how,” it makes sense to say, as physicist Michio Kaku does here, that “science is the engine of prosperity.”
The meme here came from a reader who seems to miss a very important point: Virtually every American understands that our law enforcement personnel perform functions that are vital to maintaining an organized, civilized society.
