This just in: Alice in Wonderland is starting to seem more like a documentary about the thought process of the American public than a story about the absurd.
I saw an elderly woman interviewed a couple of weeks ago. When asked why she would vote for Trump, she said, “I lost my medical coverage and I believe he will make sure I get it back.”
I watched those words come out of her mouth and just shook my head. If she represents the average American, surely all is lost.
Let’s compare Trump to Biden
Biden
- He is about 10 years older than I would like him to be. It’s not that he’s out of touch. I’m more concerned with his health taking a bad turn and him becoming incapacitated. However, so far he looks to be in good shape with a sharp mind.
- Biden supports cancelling student debt. I oppose this unless it is accompanied by a plan to prevent the accumulation of future debt.
- Biden got us out of Afghanistan but was rather clumsy about it.
Trump
- Found guilty of rape.
- 4 indictments that include 91 felony counts from 4 different courts.
- Called for the execution of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for being disloyal.
- Promised to take over control of media institutions like Comcast and MSNBC because they were not nice to him.
- Found guilty of years of fraud by the Trump organization which is now going to be put into receivership and have all of its assets sold off.
- As president, he gave a huge tax cut to the wealthiest Americans adding trilliions of dollars to the national debt.
- As president, he ordered the Kurdish soldiers to be abandon so the Turks could swoop in and wipe them out. These has been our best allies against Syria.
- As president, he slow-walked national response to COVID causing an estimated 400,000 unnecessary American deaths.
- Trump University was found guilty of fraud, ordered to be disolved and to pay $25,000,000 in damages.
- Had sex with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and then paid off the pornstar to keep him quiet.
- Told his staff not to allow wounded veterans to attend his public appearanced.
- Does not like soldiers that were captured.
- Avoided the draft due to bone spurs that have never shown up in any medical examination.
- Has more than 34,000 documented lies to the American public while in office.
- Wants to give Putin the land that Putin took from Ukraine.
- Has a long history of not paying for services rendered to him. Most recently, his lawyers.
But wait. That’s all about Trump. Let’s look at the Republicans…
- Want to execute Taylor Swift because she is encouraging people to register to vote.
- Want to impeach Biden even though they have no evidence of any crime.
- Routinely ignore subpoenas from Congress.
- Have multiple people listed as co-conspirators in Trumps effort to overturn the election.
Let’s interview a Republican and see how they repond.
Me: What is your plan to fix inflation.
Republican: No, you shut up.
Me: What is your plan to fix healthcare.
Republican: No, you shut up.
Me: What is your plan to end gun violence?
Republicans: Make sure everyone has a gun.
Me: What is your plan to cut spending?
Republican: Cut out food stamps, free school lunches and basically anything that might help the poor.
Me: What is your position on birth control?
Republican: No abortions. No birth control. No education about birth control
Me: Since there has been ZERO evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, what is your position?
Republican: Since we lost, we believe it was stolen. Our belief is our evidence.
Me: Why do you want to shut down the government?
Republican: Because Trump told us to. This way we can defund the DOJ and keep Trump out of jail.
Me: Aside from banning abortions and giving guns to everyone, what is your platform.
Republican: Platform? Platform?! We don’t need a stinking platform!
So there you have it. Everything I just wrote is easily verifiable.
And yet, nearly half of Americans will vote Republican because the believe Trump was sent to them by God.
Alas…
Time to save the world.
Up, up and away….
