Choosing Ignorance

 One thing all avid Trump supporters have in common is their choice to choose ignorance over fact. Although it is common knowledge that your illegitimate president is a pathological liar, a combination of Trump’s use of a philosophy adopted by Adolf Hitler, and their own need to see the worst in every situation, allows them to claim belief in the most ludicrous situations.Hitler believed that most people have a low level of intelligence. Therefore, telling them a lie over and over again will eventually allow them to accept a lie as “alternative fact.”

The latest example of how easily Trump can make fools of his supporters happened just two days ago in the Oval Office.Ukraine President Zelenskyy met with Trump and Vance in the Oval Office. Vance began the encounter by attacking Zelenskyy, and Trump joined in. The exchange became heated and the President of Ukraine was told to leave. This was how Trump is “presidential.”Trump accused Zelenskyy of started the war which has now lasted more than three years. Although Putin had amassed about 50,000 troops and armored equipment on the border of Ukraine, and ordered the attack to begin on February 24, 2022, many of Trump’s supporters, including my wife’s brothers, who live in the south, believe Trump’s big lie and are blaming Zelenskyy for the invasion of his own country. Stupid is as stupid does.

Of course they, like other morons who choose to ignore irrefutable facts, continue to believe that the 2020 election was fraudulent. It is of no interest to them that 60 state’s courts and Trump’s own stacked Supreme Court found no evidence of any illegal actions by an individual or a group which affected the outcome of what has been labeled “the most secure and fair election in history.” The latter was contained in a statement from Trump’s own Election Czar.

I have worked in many fields in many areas of society, primarily in customer service. Most notably, they were as an airline employee at LAX, as a hairstylist, and a dealer and games supervisor in Northern Nevada casinos. I have encountered people of every demographic frequently. Their levels of intelligence ranged from genius to mentally challenged. For the most part, I enjoyed each of these remarkable individuals.

I have never had any problem with any individual who agreed to attempt a line of communication between us. We all learn in different ways. However, I have no patience for anyone who chooses ignorance over fact. This is where the term “moron” comes into play.For example. When Trump was your illegitimate president between 2017 and 2021, he refused or was unable to read the Presidents Daily Brief. This document is how our nation’s leaders learn what has happened around the world in the last 12-24 hours while he or she is resting. Trump didn’t care about any of that. He admitted that he never wanted to be president and revealed that fact for four years. He never was.

Now that he is once again defiling our White House, he is on a path to destroy everything positive about our nation. He and his Nazi co-president, Elon Musk, are undoing the progress made over the last 60-70 years.

Trump was not legally elected and should never have been allowed to take the oath of office which was nothing but another lie.
