Only an Ignorant President is More Dangerous than Uninformed Voters

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

It is an irrefutable fact that voting for Trump was a choice to be ignorant and totally uninformed. The greatest harm Trump is creating greatly affects the people who support him, who he refers to as “basement dwellers.”

“Ignorant voters of the democracies are always a great threat to the progression of humanity, simply because they give their votes to the people who look like themselves!”― Mehmet Murat ildan

I remember when the second worst president in American history was running in 2000. I was working in the Northern Nevada casinos and overheard a group of rich cattle ranchers talking about George W. Bush. One remark made me laugh, and later, cry.

“He’s just like us. He’s a guy I’d like to have a beer with.”

I may have higher standards than most, but I continue to believe that the man or woman who leads our nation should have great intelligence and exceptional morals, ethics, and principles. This was not “W,” and it sure as hell is not Donald John Trump.

I believe that hindsight is a waste of time. What I know is that neither Bush nor Trump could have become our worst presidents if voters were informed and made wise decisions.

If we are honest, only voters are to blame for what is happening to our country today. I have no doubt that the FBI was correct. Vladimir Putin interfered in all three elections: 2016, 2020, and 2024. He succeeded in two out of three.

In 2020 the voter turnout was historic. Trump lost any credibility he once had and was despised and even hated by more than 81 million American voters. Putin’s tactics were successful in 2016, and after the results of 2020, he decided not to take any more chances. His hackers accessed the voting machines in all seven swing states, and the rest is another dark day in American history.

However, if voters had voted in numbers similar to 2020, our country would not be in danger of non-existence in 2025.

Finally, the truth you will never hear from anyone in our government nor from the mainstream media. Trump has a very low level of intelligence, proven by the repetition of his claims that he is a “genius.” He is easily manipulated by Putin, thus his title of “Putin’s puppet.” Ignorant people are dangerous because most choose ignorance over undeniable facts.

I never believed it possible that an ordinary man like me could possess greater knowledge and intelligence than the President of the United States.

I am not bragging, but facts prove that I am far superior to our 43^rd, 45^th, and 47^th presidents.
